Is the Trump-Starmer bromance over?

The previously amicable diplomatic relationship between US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has broken down over disagreements about using UK military bases in the Iran War, with Trump launching public insults at Starmer while Starmer balances preserving the critical bilateral alliance with domestic political priorities ahead of the UK's 7 May 2026 elections and addressing cost-of-living impacts tied to the conflict. UK officials are adjusting their broader strategy, including increasing defense spending and deepening ties with the EU, and King Charles III may attempt to mend relations during his upcoming trip to Washington.
