During a White House press conference on Wednesday, President Donald Trump criticized outgoing U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and London Mayor Sadiq Khan, calling Khan “grossly incompetent” and accusing Starmer of mishandling immigration, energy, and crime. Trump’s remarks followed a social media post he made on June 21, in which he stated that Starmer had “failed badly” on immigration and energy, adding that he wished him well. Starmer announced his resignation the next day. Trump later joked that his prediction might have pushed Starmer out. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions between Trump and British leadership over policy differences.
