Trump remembers Starmer as feckless on Iran war and energy as British PM resigns

The president went on to clarify that Starmer is a “nice man … sort of a friend of mine,” but then increasingly found issues with him as he spoke.

“He was not good to us with NATO … right? He said we can’t use the island to land — that was a first for a couple of weeks — he said, ‘Well, but ultimately I gave it to you,’ now that was a bad move that hurt him badly,” he continued. “I wish him well, but he’s got two problems, energy and immigration, and crime, but energy and immigration.”

Trump later returned to the issue of Starmer declining to support the U.S. military during the Iran war.

“Starmer wasn’t there, and you know what? The people of the U.K. did not like it that he wasn’t there. Starmer said no. Starmer said worse than no. He said, ‘We’ll be there as soon as you win.’ I said, ‘We don’t need you as soon as we win.’ Before I went in, we called him. He said, ‘Oh, wow, we’ll be there,’” Trump said. “This was not Winston Churchill.”

The president also singled out Germany and Italy as “very bad.”

Trump announced Starmer’s resignation before it was made in a Sunday Truth Social post, where he spoke in less charitable terms.

“Keir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom. He failed badly on two very important subjects- IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!). I wish him well!” he wrote.
