Trump claims Starmer is set to quit as UK leadership crisis deepens
What's new: Starmer has not confirmed any exit, but reports say he could decide within days whether to resign or fight a challenge.
President Donald Trump posted that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer "will resign" as pressure mounted on the Labour leader over his political future. Trump offered no evidence that he had inside knowledge, and Starmer had not confirmed plans to step down. British media reports cited by the outlets said Starmer was weighing whether to resign within days or stay on and face a leadership challenge. One possible rival, Andy Burnham, was expected to be sworn in Monday as a House of Commons lawmaker after winning a special election. Trump also renewed attacks on Starmer over immigration and energy policy, faulting him for not opening more North Sea oil production.
