In a social media post, Trump criticised Starmer, the leader of the UK’s centre-left Labour Party, saying ineffective policymaking would be behind his political demise.
He singled out two issues in this regard as failings by Starmer.
The first was immigration, and the second was energy.
CNN reported that Trump has repeatedly urged the British government to reverse its freeze on issuing new oil and gas exploration licenses in the North Sea.
The US president has also criticised the UK’s wind farms in the past.
