UK Foreign Secretary Responds to President Trump's Criticism
Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper addressed President Trump's remarks regarding the UK's approach to the conflict in Iran. Speaking on Sunday alongside Laura Kuenssberg, Cooper stated:
"It won't surprise you that we don't agree with President Trump on every issue."
She emphasized the prime minister's responsibility, adding:
"It's the prime minister's job to take decisions in the UK's national interest... not in the interest of any other country."
Earlier, President Trump had posted on social media about the UK potentially deploying aircraft carriers to the Middle East, expressing skepticism with the comment:
"We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!"
