Trump says US-UK relationship 'not like it used to be'LONDON, March 3, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - President Donald Trump said the historical relationship between the United States and Britain is "not like it used to be", amid a diplomatic bust-up over US-Israeli strikes on Iran. But the episode angered Trump, who told British daily newspaper The Sun: "This was the most solid relationship of all. Starmer has cultivated a warm relationship with the unpredictable Trump, who was given an unprecedented second state visit to Britain last year. The so-called special relationship between the World War II allies is largely built on long-standing defence cooperation and intelligence sharing. "That is reflected in decades of that special relationship, whether it's on national security on trade, or beyond," the spokesman said.
