US President Donald Trump has again criticized the "insufficient" assistance from Great Britain during his war with Iran, and compared Prime Minister Keir Starmer to Neville Chamberlain, reports UNN with reference to Sky News.
Details
The publication notes that Great Britain withdrew its only minesweeper from Bahrain before the war and initially refused to allow the US to use its joint airbase on Diego Garcia for attacks, before belatedly agreeing to its use for "limited and defensive" actions.
"Mr. Starmer said we would send equipment after the war," Trump told Fox News.
He called it "a statement in the spirit of Neville Chamberlain."
Additionally
Chamberlain is often remembered for his reputation as the architect of the policy of appeasement of Adolf Hitler, who signed an agreement with France, Italy, and Germany that allowed Germany's annexation of western Czechoslovakia in 1938.
