U.S. President Donald Trump said he is “disappointed” with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for not sending British naval ships to the Strait of Hormuz. Trump criticized the decision amid rising tensions in the region, arguing allies should play a stronger role in protecting vital global shipping routes and security.

00:00There are some countries that greatly disappointed me.
00:04And, you know, I'm the one that got them to pay from 2% to 5% of GDP, NATO.
00:10And I get along great with those countries in NATO, but I always said, you know, the problem with NATO
00:15is
00:15we'll always be there for them, but they'll never be there for us.
00:18And when I hear the UK, which was sort of considered the Rolls Royce of allies, right, wouldn't you say?
00:26They were the oldest, they were going to be there.
00:30And I say, it would be really helpful if you'd send over a couple of ships.
00:34And if you have some minesweepers, which they do, it'd be very helpful.
00:38And the prime minister is a nice man.
00:40I think he's a very nice guy.
00:42He says, well, I'd like to ask my team.
00:45I said, you don't have to worry about a team.
00:47You don't have a team.
00:48You're the prime minister.
00:49You can make a decision.
00:50Well, I have to speak to my people.
00:52I said, you don't have to speak to anybody.
00:54So it was very disappointing.
00:55And then after we obliterated them and destroyed their military, the whole thing, and it became a much safer zone,
01:05he said, we're going to send over two aircraft carriers.
01:09I said, I don't want them anymore.
01:11I don't want them after we win.
01:13I want them before we start.
01:14I don't need your aircraft carriers after we've already won.
01:18So, you know, those things are very disappointing.
01:21And you have to remember, we have 45,000 troops in Japan.
01:27We have 45,000 troops in South Korea.
01:29We have 45,000, 50,000 troops in Germany.
01:33We defend all these countries.
01:35And then, do you have any minesweepers?
01:39And they say, well, would it be possible for us not to get involved?
01:44I've been saying it for a long time.
01:46This is the greatest thing to come out of this.
01:49We spend trillions and trillions of dollars on NATO to defend other countries.
01:54And I always said, but if it ever comes time to defend us, they're not going to be there.
01:59Many of them would not be there.
02:01And we're going to have to start thinking more wisely in this country.
02:06Some have been very good.
02:08One or two have been great.
02:09I'll tell you who the great ones are at the right time.
02:12But there have been some that were right up there, Peter.
02:15They were right up there.
02:16They wanted to do it so much.
02:17Go ahead, Peter.
02:18You were talking about Iran a couple times today and what they did after Epic Fury began.
02:23You said they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait.
02:27Nobody expected that.
02:28We were shocked.
02:29Are you surprised that nobody briefed you ahead of time, that that might be their retaliation?
02:34Nobody.
02:34Nobody, no, no, no, no.
02:36The greatest experts, nobody thought they were going to hit.
02:38They were, I wouldn't say friendly countries.
02:40They were like neutral.
02:41They were, they lived with them for years.
02:43Peter, they were going to take over the Middle East.
02:46They were going to knock out Israel with their nuclear weapon.
02:48But after we knocked out their nuclear potential, their nuclear potential weapon,
02:54they started building missiles, thousands and thousands of missiles.
02:59And they were going to do it with missiles while they developed.
03:03These are sick people.
03:04While they developed nuclear, somehow they were going to start on a different site because that site was, you saw
03:09the site, the mountain.
03:11They were going to go into a certain area, which we know exactly where it is.
03:14And they were going to do that.
03:17And it's incredible what we've done.
03:20I tell you, the job we've done.
03:22Do you know, if I didn't terminate Barack Hussein Obama's Iran nuclear deal, you would right now, well, Israel would
03:31be gone.
03:31It would be incinerated and probably the Middle East likewise.
03:36And remember, they have all of those missiles.
03:39And I heard they were sending missiles to UAE.
03:43I said, that's strange.
03:44You know, UAE is like the banker for Iran.
03:49They're like the banker.
03:51Qatar, their neighbors, they got along okay.
03:55Saudi Arabia, all of a sudden, Kuwait.
03:58Kuwait is getting hit.
04:01Bahrain is getting, all these countries are getting hit.
04:04There was no expert that would say that was going to happen.
04:07It's not a question of like, gee, should you have known?
04:10And if we did know, big deal.
04:12I mean, we have to do what we have to do.
04:15But we hit them so hard like nobody's ever been hit.
04:18We hit them very hard.
04:20And we've extinguished most of their missiles.
04:23We've extinguished most of their drones.
04:25We've extinguished most of the places where the missiles and the drones are built.
04:31We've fully extinguished two layers of leadership and probably a third, if you believe some story.
04:39So, we only have one thing.
04:42They have a little choke point.
04:44And they've used it very well for years.
04:46But it doesn't work.
04:48But I think this.
04:50If some of these countries that we've been good to for years,
04:54and maybe more important than that,
04:56some of these countries that get 90% and 95% of their energy from Hormuz, the Strait.
05:05Hormuz, a famous, wonderful, beautiful place.
05:09But you wouldn't want to be necessarily sailing about there right now.
05:13I would not.
05:14You know why?
05:15Not because of them, because of us.
