U.S. President Donald Trump declared that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will resign from his post, according to journalist Assaf Rosenzweig on Sunday.

U.S. President Donald Trump has declared that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will resign, according to a report Sunday by journalist Assaf Rosenzweig. This marks an escalation from Trump's earlier call earlier on Sunday for Starmer to step down, in which he cited failures on immigration and energy policy. The declaration comes amid a growing leadership crisis for Starmer, who according to multiple reports is considering resignation after several cabinet ministers demanded a timeline for his departure. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, The Guardian also reported that Starmer is expected to announce his resignation on Monday. Downing Street has not commented on Trump's latest statement, and no official resignation announcement has been made. The situation remains developing; the exact timing and circumstances of any resignation remain unconfirmed.
