On April 3rd, footage just dropped of Donald Trump roasting UK Prime Minister Keir Starmor at an Easter lunch speech in the White House. Trump claimed he aspirated to send its two aircraft carriers to the Middle East during the Iran conflict, but Starmor supposedly said he'd have to. Check with his team first. Trump impersonated Starmor, mimicking him dragging his feet while the war was already underway. He called out the UK for not being America's top ally, even name-dropping King Charles' upcoming visit. The clip was posted on a White House social channel, but got deleted quick until a reporter grabbed and shared it. Whitehall insiders fired back, saying Trump never actually requested those carriers, and Britain never offered them up. This piles on existing friction, like the UK refusing to let US use its bases for initial Iran strikes and handing Charles Island sovereignty to. Mauritius, Trump didn't stop there. He also jabbed at French President Emmanuel Macron, mocking him about getting punched

and his wife treating him rough. Starmors keeping cool, bowing to stay laser focused on Britain's national interests no matter the pressure. Tensions between the UK and US are hitting new lows, but Starmors holding the line as both sides digging on their stances.
