Ed Davey, leader of the UK’s Liberal Democrats party, has said that London must not allow US President Donald Trump to “push the UK around now”, after he urged other countries to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz.
“Last week Trump said he didn’t need Britain’s help because he’d already won this war,” Davey has said on X. “Any decision on the deployment of our Armed Forces should be made in the UK’s national interest and subject to a vote in Parliament.”
