WASHINGTON/LONDON ¨C President Donald Trump castigated one of the United States¡¯ closest allies on Tuesday, comparing Prime Minister Keir Starmer unfavorably to Winston Churchill over Britain¡¯s limited support for U.S. strikes on Iran.
¡°This is not Winston Churchill that we¡¯re dealing with,¡± Trump said at the White House, referencing Starmer¡¯s legendary World War II predecessor.
The Oval Office comments were Trump¡¯s third broadside against Starmer this week as Washington¡¯s campaign of airstrikes against Iran stoked concerns among some U.S. partners who see the war as reckless and a violation of international law.
