Donald Trump said he was very disappointed with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for not initially allowing the United States to use the military base "Diego Garcia" to strike Iran, Reuters reported, citing Trump in an interview with the British newspaper "Daily Telegraph", BTA reported.
The United Kingdom initially refused to give permission for the United States to carry out strikes from British military bases, but last night Starmer said that he accepted the US request to use them for any "defensive strikes" that the United States wants to carry out on Iranian targets.
Trump told a British newspaper today that it took "too long" Starmer to think twice.
“This may never have happened between our countries“, he told “Telegraph“. “He seemed to be concerned about the legality“, the US president added.
