Gate News message, April 15 — US President Donald Trump has renewed his criticism of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, claiming in a Sky News interview that the UK is being “invaded” by people from prisons, drug dealers, and mental institutions. Trump stated the UK-US “special relationship” has “been better” and expressed frustration over the UK’s refusal to join the conflict in Iran.
When asked about the relationship, Trump said: “When we asked them for help, they were not there. When we needed them, they were not there. When we didn’t need them, they were not there. And they still aren’t there.” He dismissed criticism of his immigration claims as “fake news,” insisting he had been “accurate.”
Trump also criticized the UK’s North Sea oil policy, calling it a “tragic mistake” in comments echoing his Truth Social post from April 14. He urged the UK to “drill, baby, drill” and exploit North Sea oil reserves, noting that Norway sells its North Sea oil to the UK at double the price. “Europe is desperate for Energy, and yet the United Kingdom refuses to open North Sea Oil,” Trump wrote, adding “AND, NO MORE WINDMILLS!”
On a positive note, Trump praised King Charles’ upcoming four-day visit to the US, describing the monarch as “a great gentleman,” “a great friend of mine,” and “a fantastic person.” Buckingham Palace confirmed King Charles and Queen Camilla will spend the first day of their visit in Washington with the US President.
Trump also criticized Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after she called his comments on Pope Leo “unacceptable.” In an interview with Corriere della Sera, Trump said: “I’m shocked by her. I thought she had courage. I was wrong.”

Powell’s final dance? Middle East conflict pushes inflation higher; the Fed is expected to hold steady this week
This week, central banks around the world announced their interest-rate decisions, and the market expects the Federal Reserve to keep rates unchanged.

As a result, central banks are taking a cautious wait-and-see approach. The estimated U.S. GDP is 2.2% annualized, and PCE has risen, indicating that economic resilience and inflation are coexisting. The market generally believes that the Fed will maintain interest rates. Powell may be hosting for the last time during his tenure, and the Warsh appointment path is also affected by the DOJ incident.
