President Trump on Saturday rejected the United Kingdom’s reported offer to send two aircraft carriers to the Middle East amid the U.S. conflict with Iran, warning that the U.S. “will remember” — seemingly alluding to the U.K.’s hesitance to get involved in the war.

“The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“That’s OK, Prime Minister [Keir] Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember,” he added. “We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!”

Trump’s statement comes after the U.K. Ministry of Defense said it was preparing an aircraft carrier before a possible deployment, The Guardian reported earlier Saturday.

The British navy’s flagship, HMS Prince of Wales, was being readied for mobilization, though a ministry spokesperson told the outlet that there was no decision to deploy the aircraft carrier. If deployed, it would join HMS Dragon, which is already en route to the Middle East.
