UPDATE: US President Trump says 'not happy' with UK over Iran

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he was upset with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has not joined the US-Israeli attack on Iran but did let US forces use UK bases.

‘I’m not happy with the UK,’ Trump said as he met German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House.

‘It’s taken three, four days for us to work out where we can land,’ Trump said. ‘This is not Winston Churchill that we’re dealing with.’
