'He's no Churchill': Ex-US Brigadier General reacts to Trump's Starmer insult

Ex-Brigadier General and US Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs Mark Kimmitt joins Tom Swarbrick, as Donald Trump ramps up his war of words with Sir Keir Starmer, declaring he is “not happy with the UK.” Hitting at Sir Keir in the Oval Office on Tuesday, the US President said, “this is not Winston Churchill we are dealing with.” It comes as war continues to rage across the Middle East following Israel and the US’ attack on Iran on Saturday, which killed the country's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Israel and the US have continued to bombard Iran in recent days, with Tehran responding in kind with strikes across the Middle East. Referring to the UK's Chagos deal, Trump added: "That island that you read about, the lease, for whatever reason, he made a lease of the island, somebody came and took it away from him. Responding to Trump's latest tirade, a Downing Street spokesperson reiterated what Sir Keirr said on Monday: “President Trump has expressed his disagreement with our decision not to get involved in the initial strikes, but it is my duty to judge what is in Britain’s national interest. "That is what I have done, and I stand by it.” Listen to the full show on the all-new LBC App: https://app.af.lbc.co.uk/btnc/thenewl... #tomswarbrick #trump #LBC #starmer #uspolitics #uknews #debate #donaldtrump #iran LBC is the home of live debate around news and current affairs in the UK.
