On Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy clashed with Trump and cut his Washington visit short.

Asked during a press conference whether the US was now an unreliable ally, Starmer said: "Nobody wanted to see what happened last Friday, but I do not accept that the US is an unreliable ally.

"The US has been a reliable ally to the UK for many, many decades, and continues to be. There are no two countries as closely aligned as our two countries and our defence, our security and intelligence is intertwined in a way no two other countries are."
