In complete accordance with the USA’s orders? These were the USA’s orders to the UK. war.gov/…/opening-remarks-by-secretary-of-defense…

Is anything Starmer has done in conflict with these orders? Has he done anything that makes it harder or impossible to follow these orders in the future that shows that he’s disregarding them? Otherwise, the specific examples you gave are in line with following the USA’s orders so far.
