President Donald Trump on Saturday rejected the United Kingdom’s reported offer to send two aircraft carriers to the Middle East amid the U.S. conflict with Iran, saying the United States “will remember,” Trump said.
Trump’s remarks were offered in response to reports about the U.K. offer, which the original account described as two aircraft carriers. The reports were not identified in the statement provided.
He added, in a comment that began with, “The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of…,” further criticizing Britain, according to his remarks.
The comment appeared to reference what the original account described as the U.K.’s hesitance to become involved in the conflict, though the report did not provide additional details about any formal offer or Britain’s response.
