Keir Starmer says Iran conflict will 'define us for a generation'

Keir Starmer warned Donald Trump against punishing Britain and other NATO allies for refusing to get involved in the Iran war today, saying the alliance was important to America. The Trump administration has said it will 'audit' countries and hinted it could withdraw its military forces from those seen as being particularly unhelpful to the war effort, while rewarding those seen as helpful.The latest move in the deepening Transatlantic rift came after Sir Keir Starmer aimed yet another jibe at the White House overnight.After speaking to Trump about Iran last night the PM made a thinly veiled jibe about leaders who 'inflame' tensions and drive up bills in a Guardian article. That followed an interview he carried out on a visit to the Gulf in which he admitted he was 'fed up' with bills going up in the UK 'because of the actions of Putin or Trump'.
