President Donald Trump on Sunday claimed U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer will resign, preemptively announcing his resignation in a post on Truth Social before the British leader announced an official departure.

In a Sunday morning post on his Truth Social account, Trump said the prime minister “failed badly on two very important subjects- IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!)”

Starmer has been under pressure to resign for months, with sources telling the BBC the prime minister could announce a timetable for his resignation as soon as Monday.

When asked for comment, 10 Downing Street spokesman Patrick Dwyer-Cummins referred to Starmer’s comments on Friday, in which he told Labour Party staff “there's more to do, and that's what I'm focused on.”

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
