Trump tells UK newspaper 'very disappointed' with Starmer over Iran

President Donald Trump told the UK's Daily Telegraph he was "very disappointed" with Prime Minister Keir Starmer's initial refusal to let Washington use British military bases in its war against Iran.

Trump told the daily in an exclusive interview that Starmer's initial refusal over the use of the Indian Ocean Chagos Islands base was unlike anything that had "happened between our countries before," adding: "It took far too much time. Far too much time."

Starmer later relented saying he had agreed to British bases being used for "specific and limited defensive purpose."
