Trump Takes Brutal Swipe at Starmer over North Sea Oil and Immigration
Trump urged Starmer to open North Sea oil and tighten immigration as the UK leader faces pressure after Labour resignations.
- Outside the White House, President Donald Trump said it is "up to" Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer whether to resign, advising him to "open up your oil in the North Sea" and get "tough on immigration."
- Following last week's catastrophic local election results, Sir Keir faces increasing pressure as several Labour MPs resigned, while he previously acknowledged "tension" between Trump and Europe.
- Trump warned Starmer was "windmilling the country to death" by prioritizing renewable energy over oil extraction, calling it "absolutely crazy" to ignore one of the world's greatest energy sources.
- Before departing for a state visit to China, Trump informed journalists he intends to have a "long talk" with Chinese President Jinping regarding the Iran conflict, asserting "we have Iran very much under control."
- This visit, scheduled for May 13–15, marks the first by a serving US president to China in nearly a decade, occurring as Trump continues criticizing Britain's reluctance to support US efforts in the Iran conflict.
