US President Donald Trump criticized Keir Starmer, repeating his line that the UK Prime Minister was 'not Winston Churchill' after declining to back US military action against Iran.⁣
⁣
Asked at the White House about Starmer’s decision to step down, Trump claimed the UK leader had failed a test of Western unity during the conflict and said the decision strained relations between the two allies. He also attacked Starmer's energy, immigration and crime policies, arguing they had damaged his political standing.⁣
⁣
Despite the criticism, Trump described Starmer as 'a lovely man' and 'sort of a friend.'⁣
