Former UK Foreign Secretary Sir James Cleverly has criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer for his early interactions with US President Donald Trump, labeling them as 'sycophantic' and indecisive. Cleverly stated that this behavior has damaged the historically strong UK-US relationship. As Starmer embarks on a trip to the Gulf to negotiate a ceasefire between the US and Iran, Trump has continued to mock him, questioning his leadership abilities and asserting that the UK should contribute more militarily. Trump previously warned of dire consequences if safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz is not restored, leading to a two-week ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran. Despite this development, Cleverly expressed concern that the overall diplomatic relationship between the UK and the US has been weakened due to Starmer's perceived lack of strength. Starmer has consistently stated that the UK will not be drawn into the conflict, emphasizing that 'this is not our war.'
