“Iran is showing their true colours,” President Trump told reporters outside the White House, adding: “Iran is in big trouble.”
The President’s relationship with British government ministers and prominent opposition politicians, such as hard-left Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and London mayor Sadiq Khan, has often been strained, as they have rushed to commentate negatively on his administration in hopes of winning the approval of left-liberal activists and media commentators.
Nevertheless, the American leader’s attitude to his late mother’s home country as a whole has been consistently warm — in contrast to the attitude of his predecessor — and he was quick to emphasise the long-standing British-American alliance in his comments on the tanker seizures.
“[A]s you know we have a very close alliance with the UK and we always have,” he told reporters.
“We don’t have very many tankers going in but we have a lot of warships there and we’ll talk to the UK.
“We have no written agreement… but they’ve been a very great ally of ours,” he added, denouncing Iran as “nothing but trouble”.

Let’s do a little election meddling of our own. No assistance until the request comes from Boris Johnson.
How ironic. If the thing was flying a SWEDISH flag it never would have been seized.
No assistance until the request comes from Boris Johnson and Great Britain is out of the EU.
Uhm, Jefferson is responsible for the whole “Shores of Tripoli” verse in the UMSC Hymn. You know, where the nascent US Navy went and beat the Barbary pirates back from kidnapping and enslaving American sailors.
History is not your strongest subject, I’ll bet.
doofus, that was Jefferson being channeled from the grave, voicing opinion about

We don’t need to involve ourselves. Make England man up and get their ships back themselves.
dude,
You are correct on Jefferson.
Jefferson was tired of paying the “jiz” and decided to open up the global lanes of commerce.
this is no different. It’s time for America to be America and open up the shipping, shut down the piracy , and disable islam. If necessary, widen the Strait of Hormuz.
It is time for Jefferson 2.0.
I believe President Trump is up to it.
IF he isn’t, we have a huge problem on the horizon.
BHO aided and abetted the marxists and muslims globally and their agenda is still in play as if Hillary had won. Only one problem, a fly in the ointment! It didn’t happen. However, their wheels are turning still as if she had won.
BHO was conducting jihad from 1600 Pennsylvania. His “death to America” was funded by the American taxpayer.
This was their largest attack on America ever.
Thank God for him supporting President TRump!
The British should be made to beg for US assistance (which means we put up all the assets and capital, i.e. we do it everything), on condition of a hard BREXIT immediately.
Otherwise these mofos can take care of their own tankers.
