In an email to the media ahead of the international leaders’ joint press conference on Thursday, the White House referred to Starmer as the “Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.”
That earned the administration the ire of at least one Democratic lawmaker—as well as the independent nation of Ireland.
Trump himself also did not appear cognizant of the fact that Ireland won its freedom from Britain’s colonial rule more than a century ago. While answering questions beside Starmer, Trump referred to the U.K. as a “place where I have investments” before noting that he owns a golf course in “a great place called Doonbeg,” a village in County Clare on Ireland’s west coast.
“Will you be discussing AUKUS with the Australians and the Brits? Were you discussing AUKUS with the prime minister, sir?” asked a reporter with a British accent.
“The Australia-U.S. Defense alliance, sir,” the reporter clarified.
“We will be discussing that,” Trump continued, gesturing to Starmer. “We’ve had another great relationship, and you have, too, with Australia. We’ve had a very good relationship with Australia.”
