A high-level defence deal under scrutiny has drawn sharp criticism from the White House, with the US president reportedly calling it "terrible" in discussions with a senior British official. Following this assessment, the UK’s Defence Secretary has now launched a formal review of the agreement, signaling potential renegotiation or reassessment of its terms. The move comes amid growing concerns over the pact’s strategic and financial implications for both nations. Details on the specific terms or broader diplomatic fallout remain unclear as the review begins.
Defence Secretary Wes Streeting has confirmed the review after US president told Andy Burnham the deal was "terrible".
