Former US President Donald Trump has publicly attributed Keir Starmer’s resignation as UK Prime Minister to his domestic and foreign policies. Trump specifically criticized Starmer’s stance on energy, particularly regarding North Sea oil and achieving UK energy independence. He also highlighted a disagreement concerning the potential use of a British military base in Cyprus to facilitate US military action against Iran, claiming this issue significantly damaged Starmer’s position. Trump offered a blunt assessment, stating Starmer “hurt himself very badly” with his decisions. The former president’s comments offer a rare, direct intervention into UK political affairs following a change in leadership. These remarks underscore ongoing transatlantic tensions regarding energy policy and military strategy. The White House has not yet responded to requests for comment on Trump’s statements.
