Trump calls UK aircraft carriers 'toys' as Iran war rages

Donald Trump has launched another verbal attack on the UK, branding Britain's aircraft carriers "toys."

Speaking during a cabinet meeting this afternoon, Trump took aim at the UK specifically, calling Britain's aircraft carriers "toys."

He said: "We had the UK say - this is three weeks ago - we'll send our aircraft carriers, which aren't the best aircraft carriers, by the way. They're toys compared to what we have."

He added that the UK "shouldn't bother" to send ships - despite issuing several pleas for NATO assistance in his war on Iran.
