Donald Trump’s big attack on Keir Starmer’s resignation; Said- ‘Wind mills have sunk Britain’s energy policy, made a big mistake on Cyprus too’

After the huge turmoil in British politics and the announcement of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s resignation, global politics has completely heated up. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has made very sharp and direct criticism of Britain’s outgoing Prime Minister and Labor Party leader Keir Starmer. While talking to reporters in the Oval Office of the White House on Monday (June 22, 2026), Trump made a scathing attack on Starmer. Trump clearly said that Starmer adopted a very childish attitude in handling the country’s energy policy, immigration crisis and diplomatic relations with Washington (America), due to which he had to cause huge loss to himself and the entire Britain. However, at the beginning of the conversation, Trump showed a mild attitude and said, "I think he is a good person." But soon after he blasted Starmer’s policies. Trump alleged that Starmer had completely failed to exploit the vast oil reserves present in the North Sea and by allowing only windmills to be installed everywhere in the name of environment, he had ruined Britain’s entire energy system. ‘UK buys oil from Norway, while it itself has treasury’. The US President raised questions on Britain’s fossil fuel policy and said that Britain today buys a large part of its energy and fuel from the neighboring country Norway. Now the question is, where does Norway itself get its oil? He also extracts it from the North Sea only. Trump said that a very large and better part of the North Sea comes under the jurisdiction of Britain, but under pressure from environmental activists, the government there does not want to use its own resources, which is a very ridiculous and economically suicidal step. Trump had already predicted the downfall of Starmer. Donald Trump also claimed that he had accurately predicted the resignation of Keir Starmer long ago on his social media platform ‘Truth Social’. According to Trump, Starmer is his personal friend, but as a Prime Minister, he did not support America as much as he should have on international forums, especially in NATO and the ongoing war with Iran. There were differences between the two superpowers regarding the British military base in Cyprus. The biggest and most serious difference of opinion between the two global leaders arose over the use of the British military base located on the island of Cyprus for air strikes on Iran. Trump openly expressed his deep disappointment, saying that Britain had wasted more time than necessary in allowing American fighter planes to bomb Iranian targets from the Royal Air Force (RAF) Akrotiri base in Cyprus. Trump said, "Initially the British Government told us that they could not allow us to land on this island. This was the first time in our shared military history. However, Starmer finally agreed after intense pressure, but it was too late. This lax attitude of his was a very bad move, which caused huge damage to his international reputation."

Energy, migration and crime: These 3 big challenges were in front of Starmer. After tough attacks, Trump also wished Starmer best wishes for his personal future. He said, "I wish him all the best for the future, but it is true that the three biggest crises during his tenure were energy, immigration and rampant crime." Trump’s remarks come at a time when Britain is already facing the pressure of economic recession, failure of migration policy and a fierce siege at domestic level on the law and order front. Britain is ready to see the 7th Prime Minister in a decade. After the crushing defeat of the Labor Party in the local elections, Keir Starmer finally resigned as the leader of the Labor Party on Monday, succumbing to the massive internal rebellion of his own party’s MPs and cabinet ministers. However, he will continue to serve as the acting Prime Minister until the smooth transfer of power in the country. In the British political circles, the chances of Andy Burnham, a very experienced leader of the Labor Party and former popular mayor of Greater Manchester, becoming the new Prime Minister are the strongest after returning to Parliament. If Andy Burnham takes charge of Britain in the coming days, he will be the seventh Prime Minister to sit on the throne of Britain within the last decade (10 years), which reflects the shaky political stability of the UK.
