Trump Says ‘Tough’ for Starmer to Survive without Energy and Immigration Shift

Trump said Starmer could struggle to remain prime minister unless he changes course on energy and immigration, citing North Sea oil and wind power.

  • Returning from a two-day visit to China, Donald Trump warned Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer faces significant leadership challenges, citing energy and immigration policies as threats to his political survival.
  • Sir Keir is currently fighting for his political life after disastrous local election results last week, facing a formal challenge to his Labour leadership that threatens his tenure.
  • Trump argued the Prime Minister is "getting killed on energy" and "windmilling the country to death," urging him to open North Sea oil reserves instead of buying from Norway.
  • Despite their fractious relationship over Iran, Trump called the Labour leader "a nice man" and stopped short of suggesting the Prime Minister should resign, maintaining measured distance.
  • The White House rejected a separate proposed post-conflict operation, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio arguing it "doesn't make sense," as plans for a defensive mission in the Strait of Hormuz involving France remain pending.
