Trump compares Starmer to Neville Chamberlain over refusal to join Iran offensive

Trump compares Starmer to Neville Chamberlain over refusal to join Iran offensive

Donald Trump again compared Keir Starmer to Neville Chamberlain after the UK refused to support offensive operations against Iran, telling Fox News that a Starmer pledge to 'send equipment after the war is over' was 'a Neville Chamberlain statement.' Trump called NATO 'shameful' for not backing the US military campaign. Starmer has instead focused on building a 30-nation diplomatic coalition to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
