Answer: False

=======================================

Explanation:

We simply need one counterexample to disprove the original claim.

The values 5 and 11 are prime, but 11-5 = 6 is not prime.

We see that taking two primes, and subtracting them, leads to some value outside the set of primes. Therefore, the set of primes is not closed under subtraction.
