US President Donald Trump has reacted to the resignation of British PM Kier Starmer saying that he messed up on a lot of things. Speaking to reporters in his Oval Office, Trump blamed Starmer for energy policy, immigration and also said that he was not good with NATO. Throughout his tenure as UK PM, Trump was critical about him and had publicly criticised him for not providing "adequate" support to US in its war against Iran and efforts to open the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping corridor. "I was critical of him only because, as I told him, '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... The UK has a much better portion of the North Sea. They don't want to do it for environmental purposes... He was not good to us with NATO. He said, 'We can't use the island,' for a couple of weeks. Then he said, 'Well, but ultimately I gave it to you.' No, that was a bad move. That hurt him badly, but I wish him well. But he's got two problems. Energy and immigration. And crime." Hours before Starmer's resignation, Trump had wrote on Truth Social: “He [Starmer] failed badly on two very important subjects- IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!).

He was facing increasing criticism from his own party and cabinet, and a challenge from his party colleague and rival Andy Burnham, who just won his way to the UK parliament with a thumping majority. Though, he had said that he would not “walk away”, he became the sixth UK PM to resign in just 10 years. “Every decision I have taken has been about putting the country I love first.

Boris Johnson took over but was forced out in 2022 following a series of scandals. His successor, Liz Truss, lasted just 49 days before resigning amid market turmoil triggered by her economic plans. Rishi Sunak then led the country until the Conservatives' defeat in the 2024 general election, after which Starmer became prime minister.&nbsp;&nbsp;

'I was critical of him...': Trump lists reasons for Starmer's resignation: Did US president play any role in the decision?

Keir Starmer's decision to step down as UK PM has paved the way for Andy Burnham to take over the job. The 56-year-old is the frontrunner for the position after securing a commanding victory in the high-stakes Makerfield by-election on June 18, 2026. Known as the "King of the North," Burnham is a prominent figure in UK politics, after building a powerful brand as a champion for regional devolution, public services, and working-class communities outside of London. He has announced that he will run for Labour leader.&nbsp;Burnham said, “Keir has given huge service to our country, and I want to thank him for his leadership and dedication during such a challenging period.”&nbsp;"His decision marks the beginning of a transition, and it is important that this process is conducted in an orderly and responsible way.&nbsp;&nbsp;"I will put myself forward as part of this process," he said, confirming his position.<h2>Who is Andy Burnham?</h2> He served as the MP for Leigh from 2001 to 2017 and held prominent cabinet roles under the New Labour governments of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. Burnham was a sitting Metro Mayor before returning as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Makerfield. Since both roles cannot be held simultaneously, he resigned as the Mayor of Greater Manchester to run in the high-stakes Makerfield by-election.
