President Donald Trump shared that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will step down in a Truth Social post June 21.

"Keir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom. He failed badly on two very important subjects- IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!). I wish him well!" Trump wrote.

This comes after reports that Starmer was considering his political future on Sunday after a political foe, Andy Burnham, won an election to the British parliament which prompted more ministers in the governing Labour Party to call for Starmer's exit.

Trump's announcement of Starmer's departure comes amid increased interest in international relations as the U.S. president and his administration look to end the ongoing Iran war.
