On the 16th, U.S. President Trump once again complained about the absence of “old ally” Britain in the military strikes by the U.S. and Israel against Iran, stating that “only after the battle is over” did the British propose sending an aircraft carrier for support, which he rejected. That day, Trump expressed his “dissatisfaction” and “great disappointment” with the British government’s stance on the Iran conflict at the White House, claiming that Britain has always been the “Rolls-Royce” among U.S. allies and “should have actively participated” in military actions against Iran. Trump stated that he told British Prime Minister Starmer that if the British sent “some ships, some mine sweepers,” it would be “very helpful,” but the other side said they needed to discuss it with their team. “I said, ‘Don’t think about any team; you have no team, you are the Prime Minister, you make the decision.’” (Xinhua)
