Trump Predicts UK PM Starmer Will Resign Over 'Bad Failures' on Immigration, Energy
US President Donald Trump has claimed that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will resign as prime minister, citing failures in immigration and energy policies. In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said Starmer had 'failed badly' on these issues and renewed his call for the UK to reopen North Sea oil and gas exploration licences, which Starmer's government has frozen.
The statement comes amid intensifying speculation in the UK press about Starmer's political future. However, it remains unclear whether Trump has specific knowledge of Starmer's plans or is merely commenting on rumours already circulating. According to Britain's PA Media news agency, Trump has not spoken directly to Starmer since the two met at the G7 summit in France last week.
Trump's intervention adds a new dimension to the political debate in the UK, where Starmer's leadership has faced challenges over his handling of immigration and energy policy. The prime minister has defended his approach as necessary for long-term stability, but critics argue it has failed to address key issues.
Neither Starmer's office nor the UK government has responded to Trump's comments. Political analysts caution that foreign leaders often make statements based on limited information, and Trump's prediction should not be taken as confirmed fact.
