President Trump has said the UK will go bankrupt unless it starts to drill in the North Sea and told Keir Starmer it would cost him his job.
Responding to a question asked by GB News Bev Turner, he said: “I don’t know anything. I see that he was, I guess, the mayor of a town?
“I hear he’s extremely liberal. I have had every oil company come to see me. ‘Sir, could you give us access to the UK, we would do anything to drill in the North Sea,’ and they haven’t even found what’s there.
“The amazing thing is [the UK] buy their oil from Norway, which gets the oil from the North Sea. Think of it, and they pay a big premium.
“Norway’s got now $2 trillion in the bank, and the UK is dying. So they should open up the North Sea, it’s an easy one, and a lot of good things are going to happen.
“I think we’re probably of a different persuasion. He’s very liberal, but you know, I get along well with Starmer. I disagree with Starmer. I said, ‘you have two problems: immigration and energy and crime too, by the way. Crime.’
“You have a terrible mayor of London, by the way. I don’t want to cause any problems, but your Mayor of London is grossly incompetent, a bad person, and a horrible representative for your country.
“The Mayor of London is horror show, but you have a crime problem, you have an immigration problem. The immigration helps cause the crime, by the way, and you have a tremendous energy problem.
“You’re building stupid windmills all over the country, and they don’t do the job.
“You have the greatest oil field in the world, one of them, it’s called the North Sea oil.
“All you have to do is bid it out to Exxon, Chevron, Shell, British Petroleum. They are begging to go there and pay billions of dollars.
“And because the left is so crazy, they don’t want the money, and the country is losing. I mean, it’s going to go – your country is going to go bankrupt.
“Think of it. Now, most countries don’t have that. You have the North Sea oil, and you have the best part of it. Think of it. You go to Norway, who doesn’t have the best part of it and they have $2 trillion in the bank, you know, they have $2 trillion maybe more.
“Because the UK pays them all this money and others, but you have one of the greatest fields, and I told this guy 15 times, and he wouldn’t do it, I said, “You’re going to lose your prime ministership”, and he did.
“In fact. I called it about three days earlier. Remember, I said he was leaving. I wonder if that nudged him out?”
