- Donald Trump has warned Sir Keir Starmer he is “windmilling the country to death” and said it was up to the Prime Minister whether or not to quit. The US president also said the UK needed to get “tough on immigration”.
- Speaking at the White House before flying to China, Mr Trump said: “Well, my advice to him has always been, open up your oil in the North Sea.
- “You got one of the great oil finds anywhere in the world, and you’re not using it, they’re not allowed to use it, and it’s one of the best in the world, among the best oils in the world. Open up your oil in the North Sea and get tough on immigration. Europe is being very, very hurt by immigration all over Europe.”
- Asked whether the Prime Minister should stay in office or quit, Mr Trump added: “That’s up to him, but I told him from day one, you’re getting killed on energy.
- “You’re windmilling your country to death. Open up the North Sea. You have one of the greatest sources of energy in the world.”
