Was Donald Trump the best US President for UK interests on the world stage?
The UK-US 'special relationship' faces strains under President Trump's second term, with disputes over NATO commitments, tariffs on Europe, the Chagos Islands deal reversal, and UK responses to US actions in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. Trump criticises UK defence spending and leadership, prompting Prime Minister Keir Starmer to affirm NATO loyalty while seeking closer EU ties on security and economy. Pro-Trump voices highlight his past anti-EU stance aiding Brexit and recent moves against regimes like Iran benefiting UK security, amid divided public sentiment.
