Exclusive: Rude Trump brutally cuts off humiliated Starmer in middle of answer with ‘that’s enough….. Check In

As Starmer was speaking it appeared a reporter was asking a follow up question and Trump brashly interjected to say: “That’s enough, thank you”

President Donald Trump appeared to shut down British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer as he discussed tariffs at a White House Press conference on Thursday.

Starmer was responding to a journalist’s question about what he thinks of Trump’s move to annex Canada. “You mentioned Canada. I think you’re trying to find a divide between us that doesn’t exist. We’re the closest of nations and we had very good discussions today…”

As Starmer was speaking it appeared a reporter was asking a follow up question and Trump brashly interjected to say: “That’s enough, thank you,” effectively cutting the Prime Minister off, leaving him looking bewildered for a few seconds before another reporter asked a new question.

Starmer was at the White House on Thursday to discuss peace in Ukraine and ease tensions between the US and Europe.

The Prime Minister also gave Trump a letter from UK by King Charles III inviting him for an unprecedented second state visit to the UK. As the pair faced cameras in the Oval Office on Thursday, without the handshake humiliation of Macron, the delighted president said that he would be visiting the UK in the “near future.”

As Trump boasted about his “tremendous relationship” with Starmer, the British leader gave Trump a “very special letter from his majesty the King.” Starmer’s trip comes a few days after French President Emmanuel Macron’s own visit to Trump. His visit reflects the mounting concern felt by much of Europe that Trump’s aggressive push to find an end to the war signals his willingness to concede too much to Putin, AP reported.

Trump’s rapprochement with Russia has unsettled America’s historic allies in Europe. They have found themselves on their heels with Trump returning to the White House with a determination to dramatically make over U.S. foreign policy to correspond with his “America First” world view.

Starmer had said that there could be no long-term peace in Ukraine without firm U.S. security guarantees – an argument Trump all but dismissed. “We are a backstop because we’ll be over there, we’ll be working,” as a result of the economic partnership, Trump said. “We’re going to have a lot of people over there.”

At a White House meeting Friday, Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are expected to sign off on a contentious agreement that would give the U.S. access to Ukraine’s critical minerals, which are used in the aerospace, defense and nuclear industries. Zelenskyy had chafed at a deal without specific security guarantees from Washington.

Trump was noncommittal about any coming American security guarantees, and underscored that Russia would think twice about attacking Ukraine should the U.S. build an economic footprint in Ukraine to extract critical minerals

The Trump administration held talks last week with Russia without Ukrainian or other European allies represented. And this week, the U.S. refused to sign on to resolutions at the United Nations blaming Russia for the war, which began three years ago when Moscow invaded. The drifting White House view of Ukraine under Trump is leading to a tectonic shift in transatlantic relations.
