Wes Streeting slams Trump rhetoric

Despite the harsh criticism, Streeting insisted that the British government must judge the U.S. president by his actions rather than his social media posts.

He described the failure of the Islamabad peace talks as 'disappointing' but urged both sides to maintain the fragile ceasefire.

The comments reflect a growing unease within the Labour government over the direction of U.S. foreign policy and its impact on global stability.

Streeting also ruled out a second Scottish independence referendum, stating that the UK has endured enough 'chaos' in recent years.
