UK Foreign Secretary Responds to Trump's Iran Criticism
Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has responded to President Trump's recent criticism regarding the United Kingdom's approach to the ongoing conflict in Iran.
During an appearance on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Cooper addressed the transatlantic disagreement directly. She stated that disagreement with President Trump on every issue was "not unexpected." Cooper further emphasized that the prime minister's primary responsibility is to make decisions based on the UK's national interest, rather than the interests of any other nation.

Earlier, President Trump had posted on social media concerning the UK's potential actions. He noted that the UK was reportedly considering deploying aircraft carriers to the Middle East. Trump expressed a dismissive view of such a deployment, writing that nations were not needed "that join Wars after we've already won!"
