UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has raised concerns that the United States is interfering in British democracy, following comments made by US Vice President JD Vance regarding the murder of teenager Henry Nowak. Vance suggested that Nowak would still be alive if European elites had resisted mass migration, a statement that drew sharp criticism. In response, the UK government issued a statement emphasizing the need for unity and respect for the Nowak family's wishes, who have requested that their son's tragic death not be used to incite further division. The murder, committed by Vikram Digwa, a British-born Sikh, has led to national outrage, particularly after footage showed police handcuffing Nowak as he lay dying. Starmer met with Nowak's family and reiterated the importance of not letting the incident create further societal tensions. He also rejected the US State Department's characterization of UK policing as a symptom of civilizational decline, asserting that British policing operates without bias. Despite the differing views, No. 10 confirmed that the UK-US relationship remains strong.
