The birds are falling around the windmills, and the foxes are eating those birds,\u2019\u201d McSweeney recalled Trump telling Starmer. <\/p>\n<p>Trump allegedly went on to claim that the foxes had become lazy after feeding on the birds and had grown so overweight that \u201cpeople no longer knew what kind of creature they were because they were too fat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt that point, the officials in the room were barely able to contain themselves because it was so funny,\u201d McSweeney said, adding that everyone was determined to remain \u201cprofessional\u201d given that it was the first phone call between the two world leaders.<\/p>\n<p>While wind turbines do result in some bird fatalities, studies consistently show they kill far fewer birds per unit of electricity generated than fossil fuel energy sources, which Trump has repeatedly recommended Britain should rely on instead. <\/p>\n<p>Despite Trump\u2019s concerns, there is no empirical evidence to suggest that foxes in the U.K. are becoming larger.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2758\">Trump Melts Down at Allies in Late-Night Takedown<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe thought, \u2018This is going to be so, so very, very different,\u2019\u201d Starmer\u2019s former chief of staff said, reflecting on expectations around Trump\u2019s presidency and U.K.\u2013U.S. relations. <\/p>\n<p>That prediction appears to have held true, with Trump\u2019s second term marked by repeated questionable claims about the state of the U.K., including an instance in which he prematurely suggested that Starmer would resign before the British Prime Minister had made any such announcement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKeir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social on June 21, alongside criticism of the U.K. leader\u2019s record, claiming he had \u201cfailed badly\u201d on immigration and energy and calling for greater North Sea oil production, before signing off: \u201cI wish him well! President DJT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The following day, Starmer confirmed his resignation in an emotional statement outside Downing Street.<\/p>\n<p>Trump made the prediction without speaking to Starmer, with Downing Street telling The Washington Post that the two leaders had not discussed any resignation.<\/p>\n<p>The post prompted surprise even among seasoned political journalists, with Robert Peston of the U.K. broadcaster ITV writing on X that the announcement was \u201cpretty extreme, even by his standards.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Nominations for a potential leadership election to replace Starmer will open on July 9 and close on July 16, with Andy Burnham, 56, considered the most likely candidate to succeed Starmer as U.K. prime minister.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2757\">Melania Is Unleashing Revenge Dogs on Me: Biographer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump has an unexpected concern about Britain: fat foxes.
