President Donald Trump has threatened to modify the trade deal between the United States and United Kingdom, citing disagreements over Britain's refusal to support his military campaign in the Middle East. The warning comes as tensions escalate over differing approaches to the ongoing regional crisis.

Trump stated that the economic agreement signed with the UK last year, which reduced tariffs on cars, aluminum and steel, was "better than I had to" give Britain and could "always be changed." The president expressed frustration that the UK was "not there when we needed them" regarding the Iran situation.

The trade deal revision threat appears directed at Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government, which has declined to back Trump's military operations in the region. Trump criticized the UK's position during what sources described as an impromptu interview where he vented his displeasure with the British leadership.

The Middle East conflict has reportedly led to disruptions in global shipping, with the Strait of Hormuz facing restrictions that could affect supply chains. Some reports suggest potential shortages and economic impacts, though the full extent of these effects remains unclear.

Trump has also renewed criticism of UK energy policy, reportedly urging Britain to increase North Sea oil drilling. The president has made various claims about the status of military operations in the region, though details about the scope and timeline of activities have not been independently verified.

The diplomatic tensions highlight broader disagreements between the US and UK over foreign policy approaches, particularly regarding military intervention in the Middle East and energy independence strategies.
