Donald Trump impersonated Keir Starmer during a speech, criticizing the UK for not being a strong ally during the Iran war. He claimed Starmer prevaricated about sending aircraft carriers, despite Whitehall sources stating Trump never requested them. Trump derided the UK's two aircraft carriers, suggesting Starmer should not need to consult his team for military decisions. The speech, initially not open to the press, was later shared on social media but subsequently deleted. Trump also made mocking remarks about Emmanuel Macron and his wife during the same event.
