Donald Trump dismissed Keir Starmer's justifications for staying out of Iran strikes in an apparently frosty call.
The US president is said to have given short shrift to the PM's arguments that the action was against international law.
Sir Keir's attempts to switch the topic to the King's impending state visit also seem to have had limited impact, as the pair had their first conversation since the military campaign was launched.
Details have been leaking out of the chat on Sunday amid concerns about long-term damage to the Special Relationship.
Sir Keir initially refused to allow the use of UK bases for strikes, but later shifted position to permit 'defensive' operations to stop Iranian reprisals.
Mr Trump has sniped that Sir Keir 'is not Winston Churchill' and refused to deny calling him a 'loser' in private.
At the weekend he launched another brutal dig by saying: 'We don't need people that join wars after we've already won!'
For his part, Sir Keir has accused the US of having no strategic plan underpinning the attacks, and acting illegally.
Government officials told the i newspaper that the call between Sir Keir and Mr Trump was 'not rosy'.
Downing Street has insisted the discussions between the leaders were 'constructive'.
Asked about the call yesterday, Sir Keir said the Special Relationship continued at an operational level.
'Decisions about what's in Britain's best interests are decisions for the Prime Minister of Britain,' he added pointedly.
Government sources have tried to play down speculation that the King's mooted state visit to America next month might be ditched.
Mr Trump is known to be an admirer of the Royal Family, and deploying the monarch has been seen as a key means for Sir Keir to woo the president.

47 is our first Call of Duty President. https://torrancestephensphd.substack.com/p/call-of-duty-president-trump-edition
No it doesn't.
The Special Relationship is that if the UK asks for our help, we give it. And if the US asks for their help, they give it.
They broke the relationship. And they can go to hell.
Trump probably doesn’t put a lot of weight on Royalty.
“No Winston Churchill.” LOL. Nor is Charles the Dangled, King Arthur!
Gee offering a state visit by King Cuck didn’t impress Trump? What a surprise /s
You mean King Charles? As if Trump will be impressed.
After all of the UK’s war mongering, meddling, and destroying all the Peace deals, they can go to you know where.
Good. Starmer is acting like a woman with the little ‘forgive me, we ok?’ offering after having done something he shouldn’t have. I hate it when guys act like women.
Screw Big Ears Charles and his Pervy Brother Too.
“’Decisions about what’s in Britain’s best interests are decisions for the Prime Minister of Britain,’ he added pointedly.”
Diplomatic-speak for
“We done let in a ton of muslims and we are scared shitless”
King Tampon is as irrelevant as Sir Keir.
The UK broke the relationship early on, when it cut of all intelligence sharing with the USA regarding drug trafficking boat’s in the Caribbean since they considered blowing up those boats murder.
F Harmer.
Just like the old Mississippi senator Trent Lott, Kier Starmer wears pantyhose under his trousers. It’s a rite of passage for milquetoast British Prime Ministers.
After all of Putin’e war mongering, meddling, and destroying all the Peace deals, he can go to you know where.
Why would we want King Charles over here. He is a muzzle lover and has done great harm to his own county.
Agreed.
King Charles is muslim and did NOTHING about the pedo brother of his!
Who will provide the Arabic translator if the king visits?
I think Trump was an admirer of Queen Elizebeth. Sadly, Charlie is no Liz.
