US President Donald Trump has stated America's trade deal with the UK 'can always be changed.' 'We gave them a good trade deal, better than I had to,' Trump mentioned while discussing the nature of the bilateral relationship. His comments came in light of his discontent with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's actions, particularly after Starmer's refusal to support the US-Israel war against Iran. Trump remarked that the relationship has 'been better,' although he added this tension wouldn't overshadow King Charles and Queen Camilla's upcoming state visit to the US. Responding to a reporter's clarification about his focus on the UK, Trump criticized the UK's absence during crucial moments: 'It’s the relationship where when we asked them for help, they were not there.' He concluded by emphasizing the potential for adjustments in the trade agreement, recalling that the UK made history by being the first to sign a tariff deal upon his re-election.
