Donald Trump has launched a vicious new attack on Sir Keir Starmer's Britain in the latest blow to the "special relationship".
The President has warned that the UK may no longer be America's "number one ally" - and said Nato could be on its last legs.
The President said that Nato allies should pitch in and help reopen the Strait of Hormuz - and argued that China and Europe are more reliant on oil from the Gulf than the US.
He told the FT: "If there’s no response or if it’s a negative response I think it will be very bad for the future of Nato." Mr Trump had also urged Japan, South Korea, China, France and the UK to join in a "team effort" to open up the passage - through which a fifth of the world's oil flows.
He said Nato countries should do "whatever it takes", but added American allies should send minesweepers. Europe has more minesweeping drones in its possession than the US military.
In the UK, Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has called for ships and drones to be sent to the Strait of Hormuz, to ease up oil prices.
