Trump Threatens to Rip Up UK Trade Deal Over Starmer’s Iran Stance—Starmer Refuses to Yield
US President Donald Trump has threatened to alter or scrap the UK-US trade deal in response to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's refusal to support US military action against Iran.
Trump criticized Starmer's policies on Iran and immigration, calling the UK-US relationship 'sad' and warning that the trade agreement 'can always be changed.' Despite the pressure, Starmer has publicly stated he will not yield to Trump's threats or be drawn into the Iran conflict. The diplomatic spat comes as King Charles III's state visit to the US is set to proceed, with UK officials emphasizing the importance of the broader relationship beyond current political tensions.
The situation highlights growing rifts between the two allies over foreign policy and trade.
