Trump says Starmer will quit as UK prime minister
U.S. President Donald Trump launched a sharply unusual attack on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, predicting that the Labour leader will not remain in office for long. In his remarks, Trump said plainly, "Starmer will resign as prime minister of the United Kingdom."
Trump went beyond the prediction and said Starmer had failed on two major policy fronts that, in his view, would drive his downfall. "He failed significantly on two important issues," Trump said, naming "immigration and energy."
The comments come amid rising tensions across Europe over mass migration, economic strain and soaring energy prices. Trump has repeatedly criticized Western leaders on those issues and has pushed a tougher, more conservative approach. The article says this is not the first time Trump has interfered bluntly in the domestic politics of U.S. allies, but that his latest remarks mark a new low in the personal relationship between the two leaders.
