DOVER, United States, March 8, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump said Saturday that "two aircraft carriers" from Britain are not needed "any longer" to aid his war in the Middle East -- his latest critique of London's stance. The United Kingdom "is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer," Trump posted to his Truth Social account. Trump posted the message shortly after attending the return of the first six US service members killed in the Middle East war, at Dover Airforce Base in the northeastern state of Delaware. Trump has said he is "not happy with the UK," mocking Starmer by saying "this is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with."
