Stop Welsh space radar station because of Trump's 'contempt', first minister says
"The United States under Donald Trump is not the partner it once was. Talk of targeting civilians, undermining our allies and diminishing the sacrifice of our armed forces is not the conduct of a reliable ally."
"There is a clear difference between standing with partners and giving a free pass to a US president who has threatened war crimes and shown contempt for our country."
"The UK should pause its involvement in the radar project until we can be confident those partnerships reflect our values and our security interests."
Eluned Morgan, the Welsh Labour leader, urged the UK government to stop working with the US on a deep space radar station, citing Donald Trump's contempt for the UK. She expressed concerns about the reliability of the US as an ally, particularly in light of Trump's actions and statements. The radar project, part of the Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability program, aims to track objects in Earth's orbit and would extend the operational life of Cawdor Barracks. Local opposition exists, and Morgan's stance has drawn criticism from political opponents.
