Trump claims Starmer will resign amid UK PM speculation

Donald Trump, the former US President, has publicly predicted the resignation of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Trump shared his assertion on his Truth Social platform Sunday, suggesting Starmer's departure is imminent and will be driven by policy failures.

“

Keir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom. He failed badly on two very important subjects – IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY.

"Keir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom," Trump wrote, adding that the Labour Party leader "failed badly on two very important subjects – IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY." Trump specifically criticized the UK's stance on North Sea oil exploration and its investment in wind farms. This intervention comes amid widespread speculation in British media that Starmer might outline a timeline for his potential departure as early as Monday.

It remains unclear whether Trump possesses specific information or is merely commenting on the ongoing speculation. Britain's PA Media reported that Trump and Starmer have not spoken since meeting at the G7 summit earlier in the week. Despite once being referred to as the "Trump whisperer" for his perceived ability to manage the former US president, Starmer has recently faced criticism from Trump regarding various issues, including the war in Iran.

There’s more to do, and that’s what I’m focused on, what I was elected to do, which is to serve my country.

In response to Trump's claim, a Downing Street spokesperson referred CNN to Starmer's statement from Friday. In that statement, Starmer said, "There’s more to do, and that’s what I’m focused on, what I was elected to do, which is to serve my country," adding that there was nothing further to add at that time. British Business Secretary Peter Kyle told the BBC on Sunday that Starmer was reflecting on "political realities" over the weekend and would act "in the best interests of the country."
