US President Donald Trump delivered a brutal dressing down to Sir Keir Starmer during a press conference on Wednesday evening, live from Evian, France. The address was meant to announce a historic agreement with Iran, but Trump took the opportunity to criticize the UK Prime Minister.
Trump's Disappointment
Standing at the podium, Trump recounted his request for British naval support in the conflict with Iran, which broke out in February. "I said, 'It would be nice if you sent ships.' I didn't do a hard sell on it, but I said it would be nice if you could send some ships," Trump stated. He then described Starmer's response: "The Prime Minister said, 'They will be there as soon as the war is over.' I said, 'Did he just say that?' I couldn't believe it, actually."
Historic Agreement with Iran
The press conference followed the signing of an initial deal between Trump and Iran's Masoud Pezeshkian to end the war. Trump's remarks about Starmer came as a surprise to many, overshadowing the diplomatic achievement.
This incident marks the second time in two days that Trump has publicly humiliated Starmer on live television. The first occurred during a separate event, details of which are still emerging.
