Trump and Starmer have both spoken at the G7 Summit in France today.
The US president told reporters that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon and that if that does happen, “all hell will rain down on them”.
Trump said: “The only thing that really matters to me is Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. If they do, they’ll suffer unbelievable consequences. The consequences are the ultimate consequences.
“The biggest thing is they will not have a nuclear weapon. They will not develop, purchase, buy or require a nuclear weapon. If they do, all hell will rain down on them.”
Starmer said the UK will play its “full part” in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which he described as “very, very important”.
He said: “President Macron and I put together a group of countries prepeared to play their part in terms of reassurance to get vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.
“That is hugely important in terms of reopening the strait – very, very important for us in the United Kingdom because the straight being closed has had an impact on our economy and on every household across the country. We’ll play our full part in relation to that.”
