An aide to Donald Trump, Karoline Leavitt, says Trump continued criticizing UK policies privately during his state visit, including comments directed at Keir Starmer, according to reporting. The account describes Trump’s remarks as extending beyond his public statements.
Leavitt frames the criticism around immigration and suggests it reflected negative sentiment among Britons toward UK government policies. The reporting positions her remarks as coming from experience during the visit, but it does not provide further corroborating details or direct quotes from Trump or Starmer in the provided material. As presented across sources, the emphasis is on the contrast between public criticism and alleged private discussion during the same trip.
