Video: Starmer says Trump is badmouthing him in crude attempt to drag Britain into Iran war after president branded him 'no Churchill' and hit out at 'toy' Royal Navy

Donald Trump has described Britain's aircraft carriers as 'toys' in his latest swipe at the UK.

Speaking to reporters at the White House on Thursday, the US president said: 'The British said 'we'll send our aircraft carriers' - which aren't the best aircraft carriers by the way, they are toys compared to what we have - 'we'll send our aircraft carrier when the war is over'. I said 'that's wonderful, thank you very much - don't bother'.

Trump later added, 'We don't need them.'

The president's remarks come after Downing Street previously rejected Trump's claims that it offered to send aircraft carriers to the war.

Trump has continued his attacks on NATO allies - including Britain - for failing to assist in the US and Israeli strikes on Iran , as the conflict nears its one-month mark.
