Multiple UK outlets report that US President Donald Trump makes a final public criticism of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, tying the comments to Starmer’s approach to Iran. The Telegraph and Yahoo UK News say Trump’s remarks include a “parting shot” connected to Starmer’s position on whether the UK should be drawn into a potential Iran-related conflict, describing it as a stance Trump does not approve of. The ITVX report says Trump also claims the UK “did not like” Starmer’s refusal to be drawn into an Iran war.
Other coverage frames the comments within a broader deterioration of ties between Trump and Starmer. The Guardian and The Independent describe how Starmer’s foreign-affairs decisions—such as continuing support for Ukraine while maintaining distance from involvement in Iran—become points of tension. GB News similarly reports that Trump swipes at Starmer after the prime minister’s resignation, presenting the Iran-related criticism as part of a wider shift from earlier cooperation to more public disagreements.
