President's words 'not bond in action'
Coventry Telegraph
|March 05, 2026
SIR Keir Starmer insisted the special rela- tionship with the US would endure despite Donald Trump's personal attack on him.
-
Mr Trump lashed out at Sir Keir over his initial refusal to allow British bases to be used for raids against Iran.
But Sir Keir said “hanging on to President Trump's latest words is not the special relationship in action”, indicating that military and intelligence cooperation with the US was continuing.
And he defended his decision not to allow the US to use British bases in the opening assault against the Tehran regime. He told MPs “the whole country is worried about the potential for escalation” in the Middle East, and “we need to act, therefore, with clarity, with purpose, and with a cool head”.
