As far as America is concerned, well, we've refused permission to use the bases

Despite that, an RAF base was attacked anyway. Then the Prime Minister U-turned and said the Americans could use the bases
0:15
but for defensive purposes, whatever that in a situation of war may mean

I have a major, major worry that the relationship with America is looking very broken
0:26
and it doesn't matter whether it's a Biden in the White House
0:31
whether it's a Trump in the White House, you know, we've got to face a fact, linking back to your previous question
0:37
that without America we are virtually defenceless. So if I was the British Prime Minister, I'd say to Trump
0:43
what is the aim, what is the objective, what is the end game, what is the way out
0:48
And provided I received satisfactory answers to those questions, I would say the continued use of our bases was the right thing to do

I think for us to finish up, for us to finish up, breaking the alliance with America would put this country in very grave peril
