Donald Trump Embarrasses Keir Starmer in 'Painful to Watch' Moment
At the Sharm El-Sheikh summit, Trump praised the ceasefire ending two years of Gaza conflict and awkwardly called out UK Labour leader Keir Starmer without fully engaging him.
- On Monday at the Sharm El‑Sheikh summit, US President Donald Trump scanned the crowd, invited British Prime Minister Keir Starmer onstage, then turned away, leaving Starmer awkwardly standing.
- The summit in Sharm El‑Sheikh convened to celebrate a ceasefire that ended two years of fighting between Hamas and Israel, with hostages released in exchange for more than 1,900 prisoners and detainees.
- In other odd moments at the summit, US President Donald Trump held a tense handshake with French President Emmanuel Macron for nearly 30 seconds and made off-script remarks about Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
- Following the onstage exchange, Keir Starmer later praised Donald Trump and clarified he had not sought a Gaza peace board role, while GB News viewers and social media users cringed at the awkward moment.
- Against a broader pattern this year, observers framed the summit as a 'Yo, Blair' moment reflecting a transactional 'special relationship' and the 20‑point plan including a military presence near Gaza's border.
