Donald Trump has claimed Sir Keir Starmer‘s policies on immigration and energy are both a ‘disaster’, in the US President’s latest criticism of the Prime Minister.
Mr Trump spoke to reporters in the Oval Office yesterday about whether his relationship with Sir Keir has been damaged by the UK’s stance over the war in Iran.
The President said of the Prime Minister: ‘I think he’s a nice man, but I disagree with him on two things. Primarily his immigration policy is a disaster, and his energy policy is a disaster – and they’re about the biggest policies you can have.
‘You’ve allowed millions and millions and millions of people to come into your country that shouldn’t be there. And, by the way, that’s all over Europe.’
He added: ‘I’ve been very critical of Keir – and I did it in a friendly way – I said, if you don’t change your energy thing and get away from windmills and go back to oil and gas.
‘You have something that no other country has, very few countries have anything like it: The North Sea. You have some of the greatest oil and oil deposits in the entire world. The North Sea, they don’t use it.’
Now it’s time to have your say in the Daily Mail’s latest poll – do you agree with Mr Trump?
In yesterday’s poll, Mail readers were asked: ‘Is a ‘deeper relationship’ with Europe one of the UK’s biggest economic opportunities, as Rachel Reeves claims?‘ Out of more than 11,000 votes, 86 per cent of you said ‘no’ and 14 per cent said ‘yes’.
