In an interview, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer broke out in a cold sweat when a journalist asked him a question. The journalist asked Starmer, who condemned Putin after Russia's attack on Ukraine, "The US attacked Venezuela, a sovereign state. Will you also condemn Trump?" Starmer struggled during the broadcast, dodging the question without giving a clear answer.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer made striking statements in an interview on BBC's Sunday program with Laura Kuenssberg.

HARD MOMENTS

Starmer, who avoided commenting on whether US President Donald Trump's military operation against Venezuela violated international law, faced difficult moments during the broadcast when questioned by a journalist.

"WILL YOU CONDEMN TRUMP?"

Kuenssberg asked Starmer, who condemned Putin after Russia's attack on Ukraine, "The US attacked Venezuela, a sovereign state. Will you also condemn Trump?"

"I NEED TO TALK TO PRESIDENT TRUMP"

Starmer, who did not give a clear answer and dodged the question, said, "The situation is developing very quickly right now. I want to gather all the material facts, and we just don't have the full picture. The UK had no involvement in this operation. I need to talk to President Trump. I have been a lifelong advocate of international law. But unfortunately, we do not have all the facts. Once we finalize these, we will clearly state our position."
