Donald Trump’s soon-to-be counter-terrorism chief has said that the UK should repatriate British members of the so-called Islamic State kept in Syrian prison camps if they hope to maintain a “serious ally” status with the US.
Sebastian Gorka, during an interview with The Times, said actions should reflect commitment to the international battle against extremism and stated: “Any nation which wishes to be seen to be a serious ally and friend of the most powerful nation in the world should act in a fashion that reflects that serious commitment.
“That is doubly so for the UK which has a very special place in President Trumpâs heart and we would all wish to see the âspecial relationshipâ fully re-established.”
