US President Donald Trump says it took “far too much time” for UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to change his mind after initially refusing to allow the use of the UK-US Diego Garcia base to target Iran, Trump said in an interview with The Telegraph, APA reports.
Starmer announced late on Sunday that US forces would be allowed to operate from British bases against Iran, but only in a limited role targeting missile sites.
Trump highlighted the issues around Diego Garcia, in the Chagos Islands, in an interview with the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
“That’s probably never happened between our countries before,” he said, adding: “It sounds like he was worried about the legality.”
