Trump further stated that Sir Keir had 'hurt himself very, very badly' through his policies on immigration and energy, particularly regarding North Sea oil. Despite his criticisms, Trump described Sir Keir as 'a very nice man' and 'sort of a friend of mine', while also reiterating his view that the outgoing prime minister was 'not Winston Churchill'. The US president's remarks were made at the White House following Sir Keir’s resignation as Labour leader, amidst ongoing tensions over the UK's initial refusal to grant the US access to British military bases for a bombing campaign against Iran. Trump also used the opportunity to criticise NATO allies, including the UK, Germany, and Italy, for not meeting their defence spending commitments and for their lack of support during the Iran conflict, hinting at potential future non-assistance from the US.
