LONDON — U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to unpick America’s trade deal with the U.K. amid increasing frustration over Britain’s opposition to military action against Iran.
In an interview on Wednesday, the president said the United States had given the U.K. a “good trade deal” that was “better than I had to,” adding that it could “always be changed.”
His comments to Sky News come as tempers flare in Washington over the U.K.’s stance on Iran, with Trump also turning his criticism toward Prime Minister Keir Starmer — casting fresh doubt on the strength of the so-called special relationship.

Speaking in the House of Commons on Wednesday, Starmer told members of Parliament he will not yield to the U.S. president’s threats.
