World Leader Resigns After Trump’s Jaw-Dropping Intrusion

The U.K. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has resigned—a day after Donald Trump pre-announced it for him.

Starmer, 63, will remain prime minister until a successor is chosen over the summer. He confirmed his departure in an emotional statement outside Downing Street on Monday morning. He told reporters he would quit as leader of the Labour Party after concluding he was no longer the man to take it into the next election.
