UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said he is not going to yield to pressure from the US president to join the conflict in Iran. It comes after Donald Trump told Sky News that when the US asked the UK for help they were not there. He also suggested the trade deal with the UK can always be changed. Sir Keir told the Commons: I'm not going to change my mind, I'm not going to yield, it is not in our national interest to join this war and we will not do so. Trump has persistently criticized the prime minister after he refused to join offensive measures in the US-Israel war against Iran when it began in late February. Responding to a question from Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey about Trump's latest comments, Sir Keir told Prime Minister's Questions, My position on Iran has been clear from the start, we're not going to get dragged into this war. Chancellor Rachel Reeves had already expressed frustration at what she called Trump's folly in starting the war without a clear exit plan. She stated, This is a war that we did not start. It was a war that we did not want. I feel very frustrated and angry that the US went into this war without a clear exit plan. In an interview, Trump characterized the US-UK relationship as having deteriorated, citing the UK's lack of support during the ongoing conflict. In contrast, Starmer maintains that staying out of the war serves the UK’s national interest.
