# Trump warns UK faces attack from 'dangerous regime' as he hits out at Starmer

Donald Trump expressed alarm about the possibility of the United Kingdom facing an attack, describing Iran as a "highly unstable and dangerous regime." His remarks were part of a broader critique of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer regarding recent diplomatic efforts.

During a recent statement, Trump highlighted concerns that the UK could be vulnerable to aggression from Iran. He emphasized that the regime poses significant threats that should not be underestimated. Trump stated, "I have had very productive discussions with Prime Minister Keir Starmer about the Island of Diego Garcia ... I understand that the deal Prime Minister Starmer has made, according to many, the best he could make."

Trump's comments are part of a complex geopolitical backdrop in which the US has shown support for the UK's decisions regarding the Chagos archipelago. Following this, the US Department of State affirmed that it "supports the decision of the United Kingdom to proceed with its agreement with Mauritius concerning the Chagos archipelago." The implications of these agreements remain highly relevant in the current global climate.
