President Trump on Monday blasted UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who announced his resignation earlier, saying he failed on immigration and energy, and that he was not a strong leader. 

Trump has previously slammed Starmer for bowing to the green energy lunatics and refusing to drill oil in what Trump called “one of the greatest fields in the World.” Trump said in April, “Aberdeen should be booming. Norway sells its North Sea Oil to the UK at double the price. They are making a fortune.”

The President also pointed to Starmer’s failures on immigration, allowing his country to be invaded by Third World aliens, while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office.

Trump described Starmer as a “lovely man” and “sort of a friend.”

“I wish him well, but he’s got two problems: energy and immigration and crime. But energy and immigration. You know, he’s really hurt himself very, very badly,” Trump said.

WATCH:

Reporter: You’ve been quite critical of Prime Minister Starmer, and he’s now resigned. Your thoughts? And who would you like to see as the next Prime Minister?

Trump: I was critical only from the stand— because I think he’s a lovely man. But I said, you’re really messing up energy. You have windmills all over the place. In the meantime, you have the North Sea oil, and they won’t let anybody drill. It’s one of the great fields in the world. You know that the UK buys much of its energy. You know, where? Norway. You know where they get their oil? The North Sea.

The UK has a much better portion of the North Sea. They don’t want to do it for environmental purposes, okay? And I told him, he’s a very nice man, and he’s sort of a friend of mine. I mean, he was not good to us with NATO, Pete, right? He said we can’t use the island to land. That was a first. For a couple of weeks, he said, well, but ultimately I gave it to you. No. That was a bad move, that hurt him badly, but I mean, I wish him well, but he’s got two problems: energy and immigration and crime. But energy and immigration. You know, he’s really hurt himself very, very badly.

Trump later slammed Starmer and NATO while discussing plans to review the US presence in NATO and its funding.

“We have been a great member of NATO, in many ways, certainly the predominant member. We paid trillions of dollars over the years, not billions, trillions over the years to protect Europe,” he said, noting that NATO wasn’t “there for us” when the war with Iran started.

“Starmer wasn’t there, and you know what? The people of the UK did not like it that he wasn’t there. Starmer said no. Starmer said worse than no. He said, ‘wWe’ll be there as soon as you win.’ I said, ‘We don’t need you as soon as we win.’ Before I went in, we called him. He said, ‘Oh, wow, we’ll be there,’” Trump continued.

“This was not Winston Churchill we’re dealing with, that I can tell you, but Starmer said ‘We’ll be there,’ right Pete, as soon as we win. As soon as we win, they’re going to come and help us!”

Trump then went off on Italy and Germany, calling them “very bad” allies.

“The numbers that we spend are so crazy on NATO, and they weren’t there for us. So, I say to Pete, and I say to everybody else, if we’re spending all of this money, hundreds, just hundreds of millions of dollars to protect them from Russia, mostly— okay, so we’re spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year. You know, the case could be made that we spent all of the money over the years before me,” Trump said.

“Listen, we spend all of this money, and then when we want to, maybe, have help on us on small stuff— this is small time. This is not the big one. This is small potatoes—They say no, we’d rather not help. Stupid thing to say, because we can say that to them if we want, and we might.”

Trump also responded to news of Starmer’s imminent resignation on Sunday, saying he “failed badly on two very important subjects- IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!,” but wished him well.
