President Trump told U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Saturday not to worry about deploying two aircraft carriers to the Middle East due to the Iran conflict.

"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," he wrote on Truth Social.

“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!” he added.
