Trump administration calls for end to ‘two-tiered policing’

The Independent The Independent — 2min

The Trump administration has called for an end to “two-tier” policing in the UK in the wake of Henry Nowak’s murder, in comments likely to infuriate Sir Keir Starmer’s government.

In a post on X, the US state department wrote: "Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilisational decline.

They must be rejected across the West.

"The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time."
