Trump says UK prime minister Starmer ‘will resign’ By America today June18, 2026  President Trump on Sunday claimed that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to resign, comments that come after a rocky period for the U.K. leader. “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!” Trump wrote on social media Sunday morning. Trump’s post came as Starmer was staring down a choice either to leave his job or face off for it with fellow Labour Party member Andy Burnham, according to The Associated Press. The U.K. leader has pledged to continue on as prime minister, but there has been an increase in Labour Party members who believe he must step down, the outlet reported. Starmer has also faced political pressure over the appointment of Peter Mandelson — who has ties to the deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — as U.K. ambassador to the U.S. |
