UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer launched a fierce attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump. Starmer said, "I am fed up with energy bills constantly fluctuating due to the actions of Putin or Trump around the world."
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, made statements regarding the reasons for fluctuations in energy prices, targeting Putin and Trump. Starmer emphasized that families and businesses are in a difficult situation and stated that he would act according to the national interests of the UK.
"I'M TIRED OF THE FLUCTUATIONS CAUSED BY PUTIN AND TRUMP"
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, made statements to the British press regarding global developments and their consequences. Holding Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump responsible for the rise in energy prices, Starmer said, "I am tired of families and businesses across the country experiencing constant fluctuations in their energy bills due to the actions of Putin or Trump on a global scale. I do not accept being told to 'We have to be in the international market, we have to endure this'."
"I CUT TIES WITH TRUMP"
Starmer, noting that the conflict between the US and Israel with Iran has rapidly increased energy prices in the UK, stated that the UK is at the center of the coalition formed for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. He said he cut ties with Trump by refusing to allow the US to use British bases for attack purposes in the early days of the war.
Regarding Trump's threat to Iran, "Tonight an entire civilization will be destroyed and will never come back," Starmer said, "Let me be very clear, these are not words I would ever use. Because I approach this issue with British values and principles. As the UK, we have our own principles and values, and these will guide us in everything we do."
"I MAKE MY DECISIONS ACCORDING TO NATIONAL INTERESTS"
Starmer, stating that he has been closely monitoring the situation since the war began in the Middle East, said, "We have been watching the situation from the very beginning. I am very clear about which agreements are made and how the bases will be used. This is an important principle issue because if we are to deploy our troops, there must be a legal basis for it. We need to clarify where we stand as a country. I am the Prime Minister of the UK, and I make my decisions according to British national interests. Despite the noise, pressure, and rhetoric, my focus has always been on this."
SUPPORT FOR CEASEFIRE IN LEBANON
Referring to Israel's attacks on Lebanon, Starmer said, "It is difficult to say there is a violation when we have not all had access to the details of the ceasefire. But let me be really clear on this. They are wrong. This should not happen. This must stop. It is not a question of whether this issue technically constitutes a breach of agreement. The question is actually a matter of principle."
"WE CAN NO LONGER AIM TO RETURN TO NORMAL"
Starmer, drawing attention to the economic effects of Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, said, "I believe the response to the 2008 global financial crisis and the Covid-19 shock was wrong. Everyone tried to return to normal quickly and did not fundamentally change anything. We can no longer aim to return to normal. We must change this. We need to act strongly in many important areas."
Stating that the consequences of the war will be felt for a long time and that the British cannot be completely protected from it, Starmer emphasized that they aim to develop closer relations with the European Union to remove barriers to economic growth.
