Keir Starmer Defends NATO After Trump Questions U.S. MembershipBritish Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Wednesday defended NATO after U.S. President Donald Trump told The Telegraph he is considering pulling the U.S. out of the military alliance once the Iran war is over."NATO is the single most effective military alliance the world has ever seen," Starmer told reporters during a press conference. "It has kept us safe for many decades and we are fully committed to NATO.""Whatever the pressure on me and others, whatever the noise, I'm going to act in the British national interest in all the decisions that I make," Starmer added. "That's why I've been absolutely clear that this is not our war and we're not going to get dragged into it."Trump has lashed out at U.S. allies, including the U.K., who've been resistant to join the conflict.Trump singled out Starmer in his interview with the British newspaper. Asked if Starmer should hike defense spending, Trump replied: "I’m not going to tell him what to do. He can do whatever he wants. It doesn’t matter. All Starmer wants is costly windmills that are driving your energy prices through the roof."See All UpdatesClose
