Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has hit back at President Trump's criticism of the UK response to the conflict in Iran.
Appearing on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Cooper said: "It won't surprise you that we don't agree with President Trump on every issue."
It's the prime minister's job to "take decisions in the UK's national interest... not in the interest of any other country", she added.
In a social media post, the US president had earlier said the UK was considering sending aircraft carriers to the Middle East. He appeared dismissive of the move, writing: "We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!"

More weak sauce from the UK
If Trump wanted your opinion he would have stuck his hand up your backside and made your lips move.
Heck, BBC didn't agree with Secretary Hegseth to accurately report what he said. Nor President Trump.
I suspect this talking head Cooper's need to express this comes as the UK wanes as once an empire on which the sun never sets. Now it's dusk, and the Brit elite are flummoxed.
Either help when needed or don’t bother. What looks lamest is to “provide help” after the fact. It’s just weak politician posturing for the purpose of damage control....and completely transparent in the process.
What really p*sses me off, the LAST thing these people are doing is “in the national interests”. They’re literally being traitors to the British people.
Trump is just smacking the over-polite shell-shocked brits with his gloves like Patton tried. Humiliation to bring back the spine, is the intent.
The bitch’s face will strike fear into the hearts of Jihads everywhere. UK est delende und kaputnik.
Ok. Bye.
Don’t look for help when they storm your castle.
Apparently what’s in Britain’s best interest is to allow their children to be raped by Muslim immigrants....
Democratic talking points!
“”UK does not ‘agree with Trump on every issue’ - Cooper””
“”It’s the prime minister’s job to “take decisions in the UK’s national interest... not in the interest of any other country”, she added.””

Well... ok. So... when (if ever) is the UK gonna actually start making decisions in the UK’s national interest then? We’ll wait.
It is obvious to anyone with a working brain cell that the UK has given over its “national interest” to the globalist agenda... which means it is now working AGAINST the UK legal citizens’ interest. Just as they would love to do here in the USA, if not for Trump. Hypocrisy on steroids coming from this twit, Cooper.
Post of the day
It’s expected these days
Keir Starmer is destroying the United Kingdom
Pls don’t say King Charles is in charge of the UK MILITARY?
The BBC is clearly still a thoroughly corrupt organization consumed with TDS and left wing ideology.
Starmer is the latest in a long line of clowns that have been destroying the UK.
TRUE
Another twit who has never had a tough day in her entire life.
