Starmer Says He's 'Fed Up' With Trump as Europe Splinters From U.S. Over Iran War

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he is “fed up” with people in the U.K. encountering economic instability due to the actions of President Donald Trump.

"I'm fed up with the fact that families across the country see their bills go up and down on energy, businesses' bills go up and down on energy, because of the actions of [Russia’s President Vladimir] Putin or Trump across the world," he said in an interview with ITV.

Starmer emphasized the need for greater energy resilience and independence, arguing that the people of the U.K. shouldn’t have to be subjected to the “international market,” nor should they be “paying” for a war the country is not actively involved in.

The Prime Minister went further in an opinion piece for the Guardian Thursday, during which he said the Iran war must serve as a warning for Britain to “build resilience” at home and with allies in Europe.

Most Americans are fed up with him too.
