Trump Claims UK’s Starmer Will Resign

President Donald Trump on Sunday claimed U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer will resign, preemptively announcing his resignation in a post on Truth Social before the British leader announced an official departure. In a Sunday morning post on his Truth Social account, Trump said the prime minister “failed badly on two very important subjects- IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!)”
Starmer has been under pressure to resign for months, with sources telling the BBC the prime minister could announce a timetable for his resignation as soon as Monday.
When asked for comment, 10 Downing Street spokesman Patrick Dwyer-Cummins referred to Starmer’s comments on Friday, in which he told Labour Party staff “there's more to do, and that's what I'm focused on.”
Starmer has not made any further comments on the possibility of stepping down, and has not spoken to Trump this weekend, the BBC later reported citing 10 Downing Street.
