President Donald Trump greets Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer

Donald Trump has said he is “very disappointed” in Keir Starmer for not initially allowing the US to use British military bases to strike Iran.

The White House wanted to use the UK-US base in Diego Garcia – part of the Chagos Islands –  to launch its attacks against Iran on Saturday, but the UK government refused.

The US president told The Telegraph that such a rejection had “never happened between our countries before”.
