U.K. First: Keir Starmer says he’s not backing down—even under pressure from Trump“Yes, of course there’s been some hard discussions with President Trump, but a lot of what he said is designed to put pressure on me, to change my mind and to get dragged into this war.But I’m not going to do so. I’m the British Prime Minister and I act in the British national interest and always will. So whatever the pressure, whoever it’s coming from, I’m not gonna waver on this.I will put the British national interest first.I don’t think it’s in our national interest to get dragged into this war. It is in our interest to protect British lives and British interests and our allies in the Gulf region. And that’s what we’re doing.”“I will put the British national interest first.”
