Trump shares SNL skit mocking Starmer as he speaks to UK PM over Iran war

On March 23, 2026, US President Donald Trump shared a video on Truth Social of a comedy skit mocking UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The skit, from a new British version of *Saturday Night Live*, depicts Starmer panicking about a phone call with Trump. This occurred on the same day the two leaders spoke about the US-Israel war on Iran. The skit references Starmer's reluctance to send more ships to the Strait of Hormuz, which is effectively blocked by Iran. Trump has criticized NATO allies, including Starmer, for not supporting US efforts to break the blockade, demanding they contribute more to the war effort.

Donald Trump reposted a video on his Truth Social account on Sunday featuring a comedy skit from the new British version of "Saturday Night Live." The skit portrays a fearful Keir Starmer, the British Prime Minister, attempting to avoid a phone call with Trump. The scene depicts Starmer panicking in 10 Downing Street, worried about a potential confrontation with the former US president. The skit also references the Strait of Hormuz and a request for British ships. The original broadcast was the premiere of the British "Saturday Night Live," adapted from the long-running American show.
