Keir Starmer warned UK‑US ties with Trump may be beyond repair

The Guardian reported advisers warned Keir Starmer that UK and US ties could break if Donald Trump returns to the White House. The warning followed broad domestic backing for Starmer after Trump mocked Joe Biden at an Easter event, which heightened diplomatic unease. Opponents asked why Britain would send King Charles to the United States amid the row. This matters because a fractured UK US relationship would disrupt defence cooperation, trade talks and handling of the Iran war and Northern Ireland issues.
