NEWS HEADLINES: President Trump Is Systematically Taking Down London! * 100PercentFedUp.com * by Noah

Video Transcript: The End of the Special Relationship

Susan Kokinda: This week, Donald Trump said out loud from the Oval Office what no American president has said in 80 years. Spain has been very, very uncooperative and so has the UK. Now the second one is shocking, but this is not the age of Churchill.

I will say the UK has been very, very uncooperative with it and they ruin relationships. It’s a shame. But the president didn’t just publicly trash Britain from the Oval Office. He outflanked Britain’s chaos operation in the Strait of Hormuz.

When Lloyds of London announced it was terminating insurance for Gulf shipping, a move which could throw the world economy into chaos, President Trump ordered the United States Development Finance Corporation to step in and provide that coverage.

And he put the Navy on notice to escort tankers through the strait. What you’re watching is an American president who doesn’t need Britain’s permission to strike Iran and doesn’t need Britain’s insurance markets to keep the world’s oil moving.

300 years of crown control over that choke point broken in a single day. Now, if you’ve been watching the news this week, you’re being told America is stumbling into another Middle Eastern quagmire, that it’s going to be a perpetual war, economic chaos, and it’s a president who doesn’t know what he’s doing.

That’s the drumbeat from the same people who cheered on every British-backed regime change operation of the last 30 years. I’m Susan Kokinda. I’ve tracked how the British have used Iran as a trigger for economic and strategic chaos since the days of the gas lines.

And I’ve watched every president since Jimmy Carter let it happen until now. So, if you want to keep up with this historic change, hit those like, subscribe, and share buttons so we can stay in touch and expand our reach.

So, here’s what we’re going to be covering today. First, Donald Trump’s very public rupture with Britain, which is not just on the issue of Iran. Second, why Trump’s move against Lloyds of London is one of the most consequential economic strikes in this entire fight.

And third, how Iran’s attacks on its own Gulf neighbors handed Trump a sovereign nation coalition that the old imperial system was designed to prevent. So, let’s go back to the Oval Office. The trigger was Iran.

Britain blocked the United States from using Diego Garcia and British Air Force bases for the opening strikes of Operation Epic Fury. Trump had to reroute missions, adding hours of flight time. So when he sat down with German Chancellor Merz on Tuesday, he didn’t hold back.

Donald Trump: I’m not happy with the UK either. That island that you read about the lease, okay, he made it, for whatever reason, he made a lease of the island. Somebody came and took it away from him and it’s taken three, four days for us to work out where we can land there.

It would have been much more convenient landing there as opposed to flying many extra hours. So we are very surprised.

Susan Kokinda: Despite the fact that Britain relented on March 1st and allowed the US limited use of its bases for defensive purposes, Prime Minister Keir Starmer drilled down on Britain’s opposition to Trump’s actions in Iran.

Speaking to Parliament, Starmer said, “We all remember the mistakes of Iraq. And we have learned those lessons. Any UK actions must always have a lawful basis and a viable thought-through plan. I say again, we were not involved in the initial strikes on Iran and we will not join offensive action.”

Now, he said, we all remember the mistakes of Iraq. That is pretty rich coming from the land of Tony Blair. But then the prime minister dutifully reported the talking point which came from the empire’s think tank Chatham House a few days ago.

He said this government does not believe in regime change from the skies. What Starmer is repeating is the globalist narrative that Donald Trump is using their regime change playbook and it’s not going to work. Well, their problem is that’s not what he’s doing.

So, while the strategic split between the United States and the British is out in the open, there is more to Trump’s break with the British.

Donald Trump: But the UK, what they’re doing with energy and what they’re doing with immigration is horrible. You have the North Sea. Somebody said yesterday, “What would you do if you were in the UK?” Open up the North Sea.

They got windmills all over the place that are ruining the country, ruining the landscapes, ruining the beautiful fields. Open up the North Sea. And number two, illegal immigration. They got to solve that problem.

Susan Kokinda: Windmills, immigration, those aren’t military complaints. That is a systemic indictment of the British model. Green energy de-industrialization is the pet project of the British royal family. King Charles has made it his personal mission, including through Lloyd’s, as we’ll get to.

And unfettered mass immigration is a frontal assault on the coherence of society itself. And Donald Trump has rejected both. Now look who was sitting next to Donald Trump at that press availability. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz who backed the US position on Iran and who recently stated that shutting down Germany’s nuclear power plants was a catastrophic mistake.

Merz is signaling that Germany wants to exit the managed energy decline that the British imperial system has imposed on Europe. So for the first time since World War II, an American president is treating Germany as a more reliable partner than Britain, not out of sentiment, but because Britain remains committed to the imperial system which Trump is dismantling.

While Germany under Merz is signaling it wants out. Now Spain does get a footnote. Trump told Treasury Secretary Bessent to cut off all trade with Madrid for refusing base access and dodging NATO commitments. Donald Trump is not fooling around.

And on the very same day that Trump lowered the boom on Britain, he took direct aim at one of the oldest financial instruments of British imperial power. On Monday, March 2nd, leading ship insurers, including Lloyds of London, announced they were cancelling war risk coverage for the Strait of Hormuz and adjacent waters.

One-third of the world’s oil flows through that strait. Without insurance, no tanker moves. Without tankers, the global economy starts to tremble. The Strait of Hormuz isn’t just a shipping lane. It’s the jugular of the global energy economy and Lloyds of London has been the gatekeeper for three centuries deciding who gets coverage and who gets shut out.

Now don’t take my word for it. Take theirs. When King George V laid the foundation stone of the Lloyd’s building back in 1925, he called it the embodiment of the highest qualities of British commerce.

And he said that Lloyd’s services quote “all maritime peoples who are in peace and amity with the British Empire.” In peace and amity with the British Empire. Did you catch that? In other words, you get coverage if the crown approves of you and suddenly Lloyds is pulling insurance from a war zone.

That doesn’t look like risk management. That looks like a weapon. And Lloyds continues to flaunt its ties to the royals, dedicating a whole section of its website to royal moments. Not only that, Lloyds has been the enforcer of the green agenda.

In 2021, then Prince Charles showed up at Lloyd’s to launch his sustainable markets initiative insurance task force, his vehicle for using the global insurance market to enforce the climate agenda on every nation on Earth. The same green agenda that Trump has been systematically dismantling.

So when Lloyds pulls war risk management on the Strait of Hormuz, that is not a neutral actuarial decision. That is the crown’s financial instrument deciding who gets to move energy through the world’s most critical choke point.

Donald Trump broke that control yesterday when the president announced that the United States Development Finance Corporation would provide political risk insurance at very reasonable prices for all ships traveling through the Gulf and that the Navy would escort tankers if needed.

He concluded by saying the United States will ensure the free flow of energy to the world. This is big. The Empire is no longer controlling that vital choke point. Now, here’s the final piece, and it’s the one that ties the entire week together.

While Trump was openly denouncing the British and replacing the king’s insurance market, Iran was doing something no American diplomat had achieved in 50 years of trying. It drove the entire Gulf Cooperation Council into an emergency session which came out with a joint statement of condemnation of Iran.

Iran has attacked nations that had been mediating between itself and the US. The Gulf nations of Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain had chosen restraint and diplomacy over escalation.

Right up until the moment Iranian missiles started hitting their hotels, their airports, and their residential neighborhoods, President Trump took note.

Donald Trump: The president telling me, quote, “We were surprised. We told those countries, ‘We’ve got this,’ and now they want to fight, and they’re aggressively fighting. They were going to be very little involved, and now they insist on being involved.”

The Iranians, the president said, quote, “shot into a hotel. They shot into an apartment house. It just made them, meaning the Arab countries, angry. They love us, but they were watching. There was no reason for them to be involved.”

Susan Kokinda: Even globalist institutions like the Atlantic Council recognized the dramatic shift underway with a March 2nd headline that read, “The gulf that emerges from the Iran war will be very different.”

This is not coincidence. This is a realignment in keeping with what President Trump is building with the Abraham Accords and the Board of Peace. The empire has spent decades and decades keeping the region divided and dependent on its political and economic framework.

The accords and the Board of Peace were shutting down that game. And now Iran’s missiles have accelerated the next phase, driving the same Gulf sovereign nations that signed or were on the verge of signing the Abraham Accords into a de facto military alignment with the United States out of the simple need to defend themselves.

So let’s put this all together. Sitting in the Oval Office, President Trump publicly denounced Britain’s strategic and economic policies. He ordered the United States to replace the King’s Insurance Company in the Strait of Hormuz.

And Iran’s own missiles drove the entire Gulf into Trump’s arms, building the sovereign nation’s coalition that the old imperial system was designed to prevent. The old order will not go quietly. The risk is real, and President Trump is taking it on on behalf of a future free of imperial manipulation.
