Show Notes
Former President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth criticize the UKs Royal Navy, labeling its aircraft carriers as toys and questioning its naval power. The criticism stems from the UKs initial denial of US access to bases during the Iran war, despite later allowing defensive use. The UKs navy has significantly shrunk since World War Two, with only 66 combat ships remaining, compared to 466 in 1975. Experts acknowledge the truth in the criticism, as the navy is at its smallest in centuries. The UK aims to increase defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027 and 3.5% by 2035, but financial constraints and ongoing conflicts pose challenges. The UKs naval rebuild may face continued criticism from the US as it works to regain its sea power.
