Trump Declines UK Military Support Against Iran, G7 Discusses Russia Sanctions Waiver

During a virtual G7 meeting, US President Donald Trump told British Prime Minister Keir Starmer that British military support against Iran was no longer needed, criticizing Starmer for initially refusing US use of UK bases and offering assistance too late. The discussion included concerns from G7 leaders about Russia benefiting from the Iran conflict. Despite this, the US Treasury granted a one-month waiver on sanctions for Russian oil shipments already in transit to stabilize energy markets amid rising oil prices.
