Multiple outlets report that Donald Trump reacts to Keir Starmer’s resignation as leader of the UK Labour Party. Starmer steps down from the leadership position on Monday, June 22, ending his term as Labour leader. The Daily Express says Trump breaks his silence on the resignation and uses a blunt phrase about Starmer, describing him in terms of having “hurt himself,” while additional coverage frames Trump’s remark as a final parting comment.
Other reports referenced alongside the Daily Express account Trump’s earlier criticisms of Starmer in the context of foreign policy. The reporting notes Trump reacts to what he characterizes as Starmer’s approach to Iran, including claims that the UK “did not like” Starmer refusing to be drawn into a wider war. The Guardian and the Telegraph are cited for their summaries of Starmer’s foreign-affairs handling, particularly around Ukraine and Iran, and for highlighting Trump’s critiques. GB News and ITVX also reference Trump expressing goodwill while still making a negative observation about Starmer’s decision-making.
