President
Donald Trump
celebrated the political demise of British Prime Minister

Multiple reports indicate that
Starmer is on the brink of stepping down
. But

Sunday morning post to Truth Social
, the president reveled in Starmer’s political downfall — and spoke about him in the past tense.

Russia has been celebrating the rumours that Sir Keir Starmer could be preparing to resign with mocking social media posts. The Kremlin's investment envoy Kiril Dmitriev reshared Donald Trump's post on Truth Social, which said the
Prime Minister "will resign".
He added: "We did it. Starmer's resignation unites us all." In another post, Mr Dmitriev baselessly claimed that Sir Keir "interfered against Trump and for Kamala in the US elections". He added, "Aliens… for showing your omnipotence & goodness by convincing
Starmer to resign within two weeks
of the request" before asking, "Can you please do Merz next?"

Hear this story
President Donald Trump
shared that British Prime Minister
Keir Starmer
will step down in a Truth Social post June 21.
"Keir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom. He failed badly on two very important subjects- IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!). I wish him well!"
Trump wrote
.
This comes after reports that
Starmer
was considering his political future on Sunday after a political foe,
Andy Burnham
, won an election to the British parliament which prompted more ministers in the governing Labour Party to call for Starmer's exit.
Trump's announcement of Starmer's departure comes amid increased interest in international relations as the U.S. president and his administration look to end the ongoing Iran war.

US presidentDonald Trumphas once again shared his thoughts on politics taking place on the other side of the pond, as he’s claimed UK Prime MinisterSir Keir Starmerwill resign, citing two “very important subjects” on which he believes the Labour leader has “failed badly”.
Starmerwas criticised earlier this yearover his appointment ofPeter Mandelson– a person with ties to the late paedophileJeffrey Epstein– as US ambassador, then pressure to step down after a number of resignations (including former health secretaryWes Streeting), and a poor performance for the Labour Party in last month’s local elections.
And the latest thing to ramp up calls for Starmer to go is Andy Burnham – the mayor of Greater Manchester long suspected of fancying another chance as Labour leader – becoming an MP after being announced as the winner of the Makerfield by-election on Friday.
His becoming an MP means he is now eligible to challenge Starmer for the leadership.
And if all that wasn’t bad enough for Starmer, Trump has now shared his two cents,writing on Truth Social on Sunday: “Keir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of th…

mounting pressure
to
set out a resignation timetable after Andy Burnham’s by-election win.
Writing on social media platform Truth Social on Sunday, Mr Trump said: “Keir Starmer will resign as prime minister of the United Kingdom. He failed badly on two very important subjects - immigration and energy (Open North Sea oil!). I wish him well! President DJT”.
