Trump Criticized Starmer's Immigration Policies During Private 2025 UK Lunch
Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt recounted a private lunch in September 2025 where US President Donald Trump criticized then-British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's policies as "so stupid," urging him to close the UK's borders and deport certain people. The exchange, reportedly focused on immigration, was described as direct and consistent with Trump's public statements. The exact location of the lunch remains uncertain, with reports suggesting either Windsor Castle or Chequers. Starmer reportedly remained seated during the criticism.
