Trump Criticizes UK Over Reported Plan to Send Aircraft Carriers to Middle East
U.S. President Donald J. Trump on Saturday criticized the United Kingdom over reports it is considering sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East, saying Washington no longer needs British support in the conflict.
In a statement posted late Saturday on his Truth Social platform, Trump addressed British Prime Minister Keir Starmer directly, suggesting the United States had already secured victory and warning London against joining the war at a late stage.
“The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East,” Trump wrote. “That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — but we will remember.”
“We don’t need people who join wars after we’ve already won,” he added.
