Trump predicts Starmer resignation over energy, immigration

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly predicted the resignation of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, attributing the potential departure to the UK leader's performance on energy and immigration.

“

Keir Starmer will be resigning as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He has not gotten a handle on two very big areas – IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN UP THE NORTH SEA OIL!). I wish him the best! President DJT.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump stated, "Keir Starmer will be resigning as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom." He elaborated, "He has not gotten a handle on two very big areas – IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN UP THE NORTH SEA OIL!). I wish him the best! President DJT."

Trump's comments emerged as Starmer reportedly faces internal discussions about his leadership. The former president's remarks appear to be based on media reports suggesting Starmer might resign as early as Monday. Trump and Starmer recently met at the G7 summit in France earlier this week.

very well get along

Trump has consistently advocated for the UK to increase oil production in the North Sea, criticizing reliance on wind power. The relationship between Trump and Starmer has reportedly soured in recent months, despite an initially friendly tone. Tensions were exacerbated by Starmer's decision to prevent U.S. forces from using UK bases during initial strikes against Iran. Starmer's government has also recently announced a ban on social media use for individuals under 16, a move that drew a warning from the U.S. administration, which is generally considered pro-technology.
