Will Britain become the first Islamic country to acquire nuclear weapons? Don’t be surprised, this statement has been given by JD Vance, a close aide of former US President Donald Trump and now a candidate for the post of Vice President. Taking a jibe at the new government of Britain, he said, ‘After the Labor Party wins the elections, Britain can actually become the first Islamic country that can succeed in acquiring nuclear weapons.’ He was speaking at the US Conservatives Conference.
This taunt of JD Vance was for Britain’s Foreign Minister David Lammy. In fact, in May, Lammy called Vance his friend. He compared his poor childhood with Bens and expressed hope to improve relations with him. But he took a dig at Lammy about the changes that are going to happen when the Labor Party comes to power in Britain. According to The Guardian, Vance said, ‘I have to defeat Britain. Just one more thing, I was talking to a friend of mine recently. We both were discussing that the spread of nuclear bombs is one of the biggest threats to the world. But the Biden administration does not care about it.’
Why did Vance say this?
Vance said, then I said – Do you know which is the first Islamic country that will get nuclear weapons. We thought that maybe it will be Iran, you know Pakistan already has it. But in the end we agreed that it will be none other than Britain, because the Labor Party has just come to power in Britain. He also mentioned Pakistan. Actually, the Labor Party has been getting a lot of support from Muslims, but this time it seemed to be losing ground.
Was once a critic of Trump
Lammy has been a critic of Donald Trump. At one time he wrote, Trump not only hates women, but he is a serious threat to the international system. But as soon as he felt that Trump is making a comeback, he said, America and Britain should find ways to work together. When asked about his previous comments, Lammy said, you will not find a leader in the Western world who has never said anything about Donald Trump. On the other hand, when Britain’s Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, commented on Vance’s comments, I think he has said a lot of useless things before. We live with the support of every community and want to work together with everyone.
