Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and US President Donald Trump (Image: Daily Express)
Donald Trump has snubbed Keir Starmer by not inviting him to his inauguration because he “undermined” the US election, Elon Musk suggested.
The President-elect broke centuries of precedent when he invited world leaders to attend next week’s historic swearing-in ceremony.

Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, Argentinian President Javier Milei, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele and Hungarian President Viktor Orban have all been invited to the showpiece event on January 20.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, a friend of Trump, is among a number of high profile rightwing politicians to have received an invitation, including Jair Bolsonaro, the former President of Brazil.

He sent operatives to America to undermine the US election!
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 13, 2025
Don't miss... Nigel Farage and Reform could blow apart the British political establishment [LATEST]
But Sir Keir won’t be attending next Monday with a visit to the White House more likely in the coming weeks.
The PM joins Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un and EU President Ursula von der Leyen on the list of leaders not to have been given an invite.
And Musk believes Labour “interferance” in the run-up to November’s US election has played a part in the Prime Minister’s absence from the Washington extravaganza.
The Trump campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission into alleged "blatant foreign interference" after it emerged up to 100 Labour Party staff campaigned in the US for Democrat candidate Kamala Harris.
Morgan McSweeney, the prime minister’s chief of staff, and Matthew Doyle, Downing Street director of communications, were both named in the complaint.
In a social media post on X, Musk suggested this was the real reason as to why Sir Keir had not been invited.
Musk was responding to a post by @Ikennect who questioned why the PM hadn’t been invited to the inauguration when 12 other world leaders had and what this does to UK-US relations.
“He sent operatives to America to undermine the US election!”, Musk wrote.

Downing Street today confirmed that the PM hasn't been invited and that the UK will be represted by Britain's current US Ambassador Dame Karen Pierce.
The Express understands that Sir Keir wants to be able to spend more time with Trump during White House talks in the coming weeks.
The two leaders met over dinner in New York in September and exchanged complimentary words with each other.
They spoke on the phone in December.
However, since then, top Trump ally Musk has slamded Sir Keir for running a “tyrannical police state” and urged other parties to take power.
In one post, Musk asked if “America should liberate the people of Britain.”

Although no head of a foreign country has ever attended a presidential inauguration in the United States, the president-elect decided to break the tradition after he won a second term in November 2024.
His team explained the move as an avenue to “create a dialogue with leaders of countries that are not only allies but also our adversaries and competitors.”
Invitations have been extended to several major global powers and key US allies, including China.
China - Xi Jinping
Chinese President Xi Jinping received a personal invitation from Trump, which was a surprising move amid the ongoing geopolitical tensions between Washington and Beijing.

Italy - Giorgia Meloni
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has expressed her intention to attend Trump’s inauguration.
Meloni met Trump last week for dinner at the -president-elect’s Mar-a-Lago home and he said at the time how much he admired her. “This is very exciting,” he said. “I am here with a fantastic woman. She has really taken Europe by storm.”
Argentina - Javier Milei
A key ally of Trump, Argentina’s President Javier Milei plans to attend the inauguration ceremony.
El Salvador - Nayib Bukele
Last year, Donald Trump Jr. attended the inauguration of El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele for his second term.
Bukele was among the first global leaders to publicly congratulate Trump after his electoral victory in November.
Hungary - Viktor Orban
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban is said to have received an invitation to the event although he is not certain to attend.
Orban, one of Trump’s most loyal foreign allies, was welcomed by Republican strongman at Mar-a-Lago following his election win.
Many of Trump’s supporters in the US regard Orban’s policies as a potential model for Trump’s second term.

Brazil - Jair Bolsonaro
The former President of Brazil revealed that he had been invited to attend the inauguration and is currently working to reclaim his passport, which was seized last year during an investigation into the 2023 attempted coup.
Japan - Takeshi Iwaya
Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya confirmed plans to attend the inauguration as his country seeks to strengthen its relationship with the incoming US administration.
India - Subrahmanyam Jaishankar
India’s External Affairs Minister is set to represent the economic superpower at the Capitol Hill ceremony.
Ukraine - Volodymyr Zelensky
The Ukrainian President has said he wants to attend the inauguration but had not yet received an invitation.
During a press conference last month Trump said “if he’d like to come, I’d like to have him.”

France - Emmanuel Macron
It is unknown whether Trump personally invited the French President to attend the inauguration, although the two men enjoyed a friendly meeting at the grand reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral in December 2024.
