Remaining in Nato is in best interests of US, says Keir Starmer

British prime minister Keir Starmer stated that remaining in NATO is in the best interests of the US, urging European members to increase their contributions to the alliance. Starmer’s remarks came at the end of a trip to the Gulf, where he discussed the tentative ceasefire and reopening the Strait of Hormuz amidst the ongoing war in Iran. His comments directly pushed back against President Donald Trump’s threats to withdraw the US from the defense alliance. This intervention highlights international concerns regarding the stability of NATO and the US commitment to global security under the current administration. Starmer emphasized Europe's need to do more to support NATO, particularly in light of the conflict in Iran.
