The US can’t count on Starmer for anything, it seems.

Starmer is all talk and no help.

The US-UK Special Relationship is collapsing under the leadership – if we even call it that – of failing Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

After refusing to help the US-Israel military conflict against Iran and even failing to allow the use of its airbases, now the leftist Labour party leader is continuing to let his main ally down.

Today (16), it arises that Starmer is refusing to send warships to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, after US President Donald J. Trump asked for reinforcements to solve the economic crisis due to high oil prices.

The UK is working with allies on a ‘viable plan’ to open the Strait of Hormuz, says Starmer

The Telegraph reported:

“Britain and other allies were resisting Mr. Trump’s request for a ‘team effort’ as stock markets braced for further chaos on Monday.

[…] [British] Ministers are considering sending mine-hunting drones but are not currently prepared to send any warships, one of which is already at sea, to clear the crucial oil route. Iran has threatened any country that joins a mission against it in the strait.”

Despite rising threats to global shipping, Keir Starmer’s government has refused to commit British warships to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, even as the United States calls on allies to step up.

Trump is warning his NATO ‘allies’: ‘We will remember.’

An angry Trump questioned whether the UK was still ‘number one ally’, and warned America ‘will remember’ who supported the campaign.

Daily Mail reported:

“The sniping came as Sir Keir had a tense call with Mr. Trump, in which he is believed to have signaled Britain will not obey a request to deploy warships to the Strait of Hormuz. France, Canada and Australia have also dismissed the prospect.”

The US President linked the response to his demand for ships in the Strait to the future of NATO and support for Ukraine.

“Mr. Trump said: ‘It’s only appropriate that people who are the beneficiaries of the Strait will help to make sure that nothing bad happens there. ‘We have a thing called NATO,’ Trump said. ‘We’ve been very sweet. We didn’t have to help them with Ukraine… but we helped them.

‘Now we’ll see if they help us. Because I’ve long said that we’ll be there for them but they won’t be there for us. And I’m not sure that they’d be there. If there’s no response or if it’s a negative response, I think it will be very bad for the future of NATO’. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Mr. Trump said: ‘Whether we get support or not… I can say this and I said it to them – we will remember’.”

President Trump told reporters on Sunday that he will finish dealing with Cuba “soon” as war with Iran rages on and months-long threats to take over Cuba linger. 

“Cuba’s a failed nation. Cuba also wants to make a deal, and I think we will pretty soon, either make a deal or do whatever we have to do,” Trump told Bloomberg’s Jeff Mason during a gaggle on Air Force One last night. “We’re talking to Cuba, but we’re going to do Iran before Cuba.”

This comes as the Department of Justice is preparing to charge Communist Cuban leaders in cases related to drugs or violence.

Meanwhile,  as The Gateway Pundit recently reported, U.S. Southern Command announced new operations with the Ecuadorian military against narco-terrorists in South America and is still surging troops to the region.

Trump noted that on Sunday afternoon, a large group of supporters with Cuban and American flags was waiting on his motorcade’s route from Mar-a-Lago to Palm Beach International Airport. “People have been waiting 50 years to hear this story with Cuba, and when I left Palm Beach today, there were thousands of people in the road. I’m sure you saw them, and they were from Cuba and from Venezuela, all friendly, all friendly, waving the flag and waving the American flag,” he said.

The group stood outside for hours in the rain to show their support.

“They’ve been waiting 50 years for what’s happening with Cuba. So, I think something will happen with Cuba pretty quickly,” Trump added.

WATCH:

Mason: You said that you’re talking to Cuba. What do you want to hear from them, and what is at risk for them?

Trump: Well, I am holding Cuba— Cuba’s a failed nation. Cuba also wants to make a deal, and I think we will pretty soon, either make a deal or do whatever we have to do. We have a lot of great people that happen to vote for Trump, not that that matters, but we have a lot of great people from Cuba that were violently and viciously thrown out of the country, and worse. Their families were killed. And so we’re talking to Cuba, but we’re going to do Iran before Cuba.

Mason: And what is at risk for Cuba?

Trump: You know, people have been waiting 50 years to hear this story with Cuba, and when I left Palm Beach today, there were thousands of people in the road. I’m sure you saw them, and they were from Cuba and from Venezuela, all friendly, all friendly, waving the flag and waving the American flag. They’ve been waiting 50 years for what’s happening with Cuba. So, I think something will happen with Cuba pretty quickly.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump said earlier this month that “Cuba is going to fall pretty soon.” Previously, he had suggested that the US could “very well end up having a friendly takeover of Cuba,” adding, “They’re in big trouble.”

“They want to make a deal so badly. They want to make a deal. And so I’m going to put Marco [Rubio] over there, and we’ll see how that works out,” Trump told CNN.

This is in addition to an oil embargo and threatening tariffs on any country that provides oil to Cuba through an Executive Order.

Washington keeps promising results. But when it comes to the Save America Act, I’m calling it exactly what it is: dead on arrival.

But before we even get into the bill itself, there was one moment that exposed everything. Senator John Cornyn let something slip in a comment that most people completely missed. It wasn’t shouted. It wasn’t dramatic. In fact, it was almost brushed aside in the interview. But if you listen closely, that one remark reveals the truth about what’s really happening behind closed doors in Washington.

Grant breaks down the line that slipped past the media and explains why that single comment tells you the Save America Act is going nowhere.

Today on Stinchfield, Grant makes the blunt declaration that many in Washington won’t say out loud. The Save America Act isn’t stalled because of procedure. It’s stalled because the political will simply isn’t there. Despite the speeches, press releases, and social media posts claiming momentum, the truth is the bill is stuck in the swamp and not moving an inch.

Grant breaks down why leadership knows it can’t pass, why lawmakers are quietly backing away from it, and how the entire process has become more about political theater than real results. If conservatives are serious about saving the country, Grant argues, they’ll have to stop pretending this bill is the solution and start demanding something that can actually get across the finish line.

The reality is simple. Washington is great at talking about saving America. Passing legislation to actually do it is another story entirely.
