Trump claimed Starmer failed on these issues and expressed well wishes for his departure. The comments come amid increasing calls for Starmer&#8217;s resignation, partly driven by <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >recent local election losses<\/a> for the Labor Party. Trump opposed Starmer&#8217;s stance on banning new oil and gas exploration in the North Sea, advocating for increased drilling to boost energy supplies amid market disruptions caused by international tensions, such as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Additionally, Trump criticized Starmer\u2019s immigration policies, which he described as \u201chorrible,\u201d especially considering recent protests in Belfast. The UK leader has maintained strict regulations on new exploration to meet climate targets, despite Trump\u2019s push for increased fossil fuel progress. Trump\u2019s remarks reflect ongoing disagreements over energy and immigration policies between the two leaders.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\"> Donald Trump<\/a> on Sunday said British Prime Minister <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/keir-starmer\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"3660\">Keir Starmer<\/a> \u201cwill resign\u201d and ripped the Labour leader over his <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/immigration\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"8775\">immigration<\/a> and North Sea <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/oil\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"292\">oil<\/a> policies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKeir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social. \u201cHe failed badly on two very important subjects- IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!).
