Keir Starmer holds phone call with Donald Trump after President urges UK to send warships to Iran

Sir Keir Starmer has had a phone call with Donald Trump after the US President urged the UK to send warships to Iran on Saturday.

On the call on Sunday, the two leaders spoke about "the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz to end the disruption to global shipping, which is driving up costs worldwide", Downing Street said.

This comes after the US President called on the UK to send naval power to the Strait of Hormuz in a bid to secure the critical sea passage.

Sir Keir also spoke to the Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, discussing the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, a Downing Street spokesman has confirmed.
