Trump vs. Starmer: Tensions Rise at White House

0:00On March 18th, a fountain at the White House turned green to welcome Ireland's Prime Minister, Michael Martin, for talks with President Donald Trump. But the visit took a turn when Trump lashed out a British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, calling him a disappointment and repeating an old jab, comparing him to Winston Churchill in a negative way. Martin, however, stood firmly with Starmer, positioning himself as a key ally against Trump's criticism. Our Ireland correspondent was right there in the Oval Office, witnessing the tense exchange firsthand. The episode highlights growing tensions between Trump and European leaders, especially over issues like trade and security. Starmer has faced repeated barbs from Trump, who sees him as weak on key policies. Meanwhile, Trump's push for action in Iran is causing rifts even among his closest advisors. The counterterrorism director he appointed has resigned, stating he cannot support the president's approach to the conflict in good conscience.
