This relationship with Trump and Starmer is over.”\n\nThe Reform UK leader issued the warning as the Prime Minister scrambled to save his relationship with Mr Trump.\n\nThe phone call, which took place last night, was the first conversation between the two leaders in eight days.\n\nMr Trump had recently taken a swipe at Sir Keir on his social media platform Truth Social.\n\nThe US President, who described the UK as \"our once Great Ally\", said: “We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!”\n\nHowever, Downing Street insisted the leaders spoke about events in the Middle East and “military co-operation”.\n\nA No10 spokeswoman said: “The leaders began by discussing the latest situation in the Middle East and the military co-operation between the UK and US through the use of RAF bases in support of the collective self-defence of partners in the region.\n\n“The Prime Minister also shared his heartfelt condolences with President Trump and the American people following the deaths of six US soldiers.\n\n\"They looked forward to speaking again soon.”\n\n _**_FOLLOW BELOW FOR LIVE UPDATES THROUGHOUT THE DAY…_**_\n\n### Shabana Mahmood must ban pro-Iran march, MPs say\n\n\n\n\nHome Secretary Shabana Mahmood has been urged to ban a pro-Iran march due to its link to Tehran.\n\nMs Mahmood was told by 90 politicians that the Al Quds march will provide a platform for intimidation, extremist propaganda and the promotion of a regime hostile to the West.\n\nThousands of pro-Iranian protesters, many chanting anti-Israeli and anti-US slogans and backed by groups including The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and Stop the War, marched through London in a separate rally at the weekend.\n\n### King Charles urged to delay Donald Trump State Visit by MPs: 'It is unthinkable!'\n\n\n\n\nMPs have urged Sir Keir Starmer to step in and prevent King Charles from visiting Washington DC for his State Visit, following Donald Trump’s recent comments.\n\nThe United States president hit out at the UK as a \"once great ally\" and said \"we will remember\" the lack of support in his campaign against the Islamic Republic.\n\nPresident Trump reiterated his criticism while speaking on Air Force One earlier this morning, telling reporters the US \"didn’t need\" the potential support of British aircraft carriers and that \"we already won.\"\n\nLib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey urged: \"Keir Starmer should advise the King that the state visit to the US scheduled for April should be called off.\n\n**READ NOW**\n\n### Rachel Reeves and G7 to discuss triggering emergency release of oil reserves in bid to avert economic catastrophe\n\n\n\n\nThe Group of Seven's (G7's) finance ministers including Rachel Reeves are set to hold emergency talks today to address the oil price spike triggered by the war in Iran.\n\nIn a crunch call at 1.30pm today, ministers will weigh a coordinated release from strategic petroleum stockpiles managed by the International Energy Agency.\n\nThree G7 nations, the US among them, have already signalled their backing for the proposal, the Financial Times reported on Monday.\n\nThe 32 IEA member countries maintain emergency reserves specifically designed for oil market crises.\n\nSome American officials believe releasing between 300 million and 400 million barrels would be suitable, representing roughly a quarter of total reserves.\n\nBrent crude, the global benchmark, surged 24 per cent during Asian trading on Monday, reaching $116.71 per barrel.\n\nPrices later retreated following news of the G7 discussions, settling at $110.85, still up nearly 19 per cent.\n\nWest Texas Intermediate, the American marker, climbed 28 per cent to $116.45 before dropping back to approximately $108.\n\n**READ IN FULL**\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards:The GB News Editorial Charter **",
