‘I’m not happy with UK’: Donald Trump criticizes Keir Starmer over military access

President Donald Trump criticized UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for initially refusing to allow American warplanes to use UK bases to strike Iran, calling the relationship "not like it used to be". Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of cooperation and highlighted a shift in the special relationship between the two countries. Starmer, who stated that his government did not believe in regime change from the skies, later agreed to allow limited use of two British military bases for a specific purpose. While Trump criticized Starmer's decision, UK Government minister Darren Jones defended it by emphasizing the need for legal basis and national interest. The UK remains committed to its alliance with the US despite the diplomatic tension.
