Donald Trump on Saturday publicly rejected a longtime U.S. ally's purported offer to send military support to the Middle East.
The BBC over the weekend reported that "one of the UK's two aircraft carriers has been placed on advanced readiness to sail from Portsmouth," apparently as a gesture in support of the US' attack on Iran.
But it wasn't good enough for Trump, who said that it was two aircraft carriers, and that we no longer need them anyway. In a biting post, Trump noted that, "The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East."
Trump then added, "That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
