  "textContent": "\n\n\nDonald Trump has told GB News the UK \"has a long way to go\" after being asked if Britain needs to resurrect like Jesus Christ this Easter.\n\nThe US President was speaking to reporters as part of the annual Easter egg roll that takes place on the lawns of the White House.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nAddressing a question from Chief US Correspondent Ben Leo, Mr Trump said: \"That's what they need. There's a long way to go. The UK has a long way to go.\"\n\nDiscussing Sir Keir Starmer's response to events in the Middle East, the US President added: \"We don't want another Neville Chamberlain, do we agree? We don't want another Neville Chamberlain.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nWhen asked the same question, the US President's son Eric Trump told GB News: \"It needs to be. It needs to be. Free speech needs to be resurrected in the UK.\"]\n\nThe US President has threatened to rain \"hell\" on Tehran if it does not make a deal tonight.\n\nMr Trump's administration wants Iran to allow goods to start moving again through the Strait of Hormuz.\n\nThe US and Iran are currently weighing up a framework plan to end their five‑week-old conflict, as Tehran said it wanted a lasting end to the war and pushed back against pressure to swiftly reopen the strait under a temporary ceasefire.\n\nIran conveyed its response to the US proposal for ending the war to Pakistan, rejecting a ceasefire and emphasising the necessity of a permanent end to the war, the official IRNA news agency said.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe Iranian response consisted of 10 clauses, including an end to conflicts in the region, a protocol for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, lifting of sanctions, and reconstruction, the agency added.\n\nIn response, Mr Trump said: \"They made a proposal, and it's a significant proposal. It's a significant step. It's not good enough.\"\n\nLast month, the US President dismissed Sir Keir Starmer with a pointed comparison: \"This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with.\"\n\nAt that same meeting, Mr Trump insisted that the UK \"should be giving us, without question or hesitation, things like bases where we can use others\".\n\nSir Keir has previously defended Britain's decision to stay out of the opening wave of military action against Iran, describing the choice as calculated and serving the country's interests.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * Donald Trump threatens to unleash 'Hell' blitz in expletive-filled warning to Iran - 'Open the f***in’ Strait!'\n  * US and Iran receive ceasefire plan that could last 45 days as Donald Trump's deadline looms\n  * Ex-Attorney General points to Keir Starmer's 'reset opportunity' with Donald Trump as special relationship fizzles out\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nSpeaking at a press conference in March, the Prime Minister said: \"That decision was deliberate, it was in the national interest, and I stand by it.\"\n\nConservative leader Kemi Badenoch has recently called Donald Trump’s repeated criticisms of Sir Keir \"childish\", as she suggested the President has made a \"mess\" in the Middle East.\n\nMeanwhile, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage suggested last week that the Prime Minister was right not to join the US campaign.\n\nHe said: \"I wouldn't have joined the war, but we should have supported him in the sense of not obstructing him [from] using the bases and that's what's caused the fault line.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
