Writing in The Hill, Lord Cameron said the UK’s and US’s joint history in the 20th century showed the “folly” of giving in to tyrants in Europe.
“I believe our joint history shows the folly of giving in to tyrants in Europe who believe in redrawing boundaries by force,” Lord Cameron wrote.
“I do not want us to show the weakness displayed against Hitler in the 1930s. He came back for more, costing us far more lives to stop his aggression.”
