US president criticises migration and energy policies
In his post, Trump wrote: “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! President DJT.”
The statement comes after months of disagreements between the two leaders over issues including border controls and energy policy.
Trump previously warned of political challenges
The US president has previously urged Starmer to adopt tougher immigration measures and reconsider restrictions on North Sea oil exploration.
Last month, Trump suggested that surviving political pressure would be difficult for Starmer following Labour’s poor performance in local elections, advising him to address immigration concerns and energy issues.
Pressure mounts over Starmer’s leadership
Starmer has faced increasing scrutiny over internal Labour Party tensions, policy decisions and concerns from some lawmakers about his government’s performance.
Reports indicate discussions over his political future have intensified, although government sources have continued to insist that he remains focused on leading the country.
The developments have added to uncertainty surrounding the future of the UK government as Labour faces growing debate over leadership and direction.
Expert reacts
An international expert, Kayode Samuel, while speaking with Legit.ng on Sunday, June 21. said:
"The reason Starmer got to be PM is because most of the electorate failed to vote, because they were fed up with politicians lies. That includes Reform who stood in 24."
