Trump halts Starmer's speech amid Canadian annexation query
During a joint conference with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Donald Trump interrupted Keir Starmer's remarks. The White House explained the president's behavior.
An unexpected situation occurred during the joint appearance of U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. At the press conference, a journalist asked Starmer about alleged plans by Trump to annex Canada. Prime Minister Starmer emphasized that discussions with the U.S. president focused mainly on trade cooperation and security in Ukraine.
Trump interrupted Starmer
Starmer noted that Canada was not discussed, and the relations between the U.S. and the United Kingdom are very close. At this point, Trump interrupted the prime minister and said, "That's enough," suggesting they move on to the next question. This gesture sparked reactions among internet users, who speculated that the president was trying to silence the British prime minister on the topic of Canada.
"Fake News. President Trump was clearly talking to the reporter trying to goad the leaders into division," the announcement stated.
Trump and Starmer also discussed trade issues and wanted to sign a trade agreement between the countries. However, the American president suggested that the United Kingdom might not avoid tariffs, although Starmer was doing a "great job" trying to dissuade him from that.
The British prime minister handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles with an invitation to visit the United Kingdom for a second state visit, something that "has never happened before." Trump accepted the invitation.
