LONDON (Reuters) – British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday said he did not accept that the United States under President Donald Trump was an unreliable ally.
On Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy clashed with Trump and cut his Washington visit short.
Asked during a press conference whether the U.S. was now an unreliable ally, Starmer said: “Nobody wanted to see what happened last Friday, but I do not accept that the U.S. is an unreliable ally.
“The U.S. has been a reliable ally to the UK for many, many decades, and continues to be. There are no two countries as closely aligned as our two countries and our defence, our security and intelligence is intertwined in a way no two other countries are.”
