Earlier on Monday, President Trump said he was "very disappointed" in Sir Keir Starmer after the UK initially blocked the US from using the Diego Garcia military base to strike Iran.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Trump said Sir Keir "took far too long" to change his mind.
He said: "That’s probably never happened between our countries before. It sounds like he was worried about the legality."
The Prime Minister reversed the decision on Sunday evening, stating that he would allow them access for "specific and limited defensive purposes."
