"It's only appropriate that people who are the beneficiaries of the Strait will help to make sure that nothing bad happens 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."
Prime Minister Keir Starmer holds a Downing Street press conference to announce support measures worth tens of millions of pounds for people affected by rising energy prices, particularly those reliant on heating oil. The announcement is overshadowed by escalating tensions with Donald Trump, who has demanded that the UK and other countries deploy warships to protect oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has threatened to undermine NATO if countries do not comply. The UK government indicates it will not deploy warships but may send minesweeping drones instead. Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden downplays Trump's threats, asserting that the US-UK alliance remains strong despite the president's rhetoric.
