Trump on residual threats after destruction of Iran's army
US President Donald Trump has said that despite the complete elimination of the Iranian army, He said that there are risks of terrorist acts. In particular, he mentioned the possibility of mines being planted in the water, which poses a security threat.
Trump said he expected European countries to help with the mine clearance. According to him, Europe has several minesweepers that could be used to ensure maritime security.
UK and Starmer's reaction
Trump said he was disappointed by the UK's offer to send two aircraft carriers. According to him, after the victory over Iran, there is no real threat to aircraft carriers in the region.
