Wales's first minister calls on Keir Starmer to halt US-UK space defence project
"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."
"I'm urging the UK government to halt our involvement in the Aukus radar project until we can be confident those partnerships reflect our values, and our security interests."
"Local campaigners Parc Against Darc have called the project one of the most health-hazardous, tourism-ruining, skyline-blighting military installations ever proposed anywhere in the UK."
"A dozen Senedd members have voiced opposition to the radar programme to date, although only three from the Labour party."
Eluned Morgan, Wales's first minister, has called for the suspension of the Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability (Darc) project with the US. She cites Donald Trump's contempt for the UK and threats of war crimes as reasons for her stance. Morgan emphasizes the importance of international alliances but insists that the UK should not support a US president who undermines allies. The Darc project, located in Pembrokeshire, aims to enhance UK security against space warfare but faces local opposition due to health and environmental concerns.
