Donald Trump suggested that Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer could use the army to stop the illegal migration at a press conference marking the end of The second state visit of the American president in the United Kingdom.
Trump said he had discussed migration problems with Sir Keir at a meeting in his country residence auditors.
The American president spoke of his policies to guarantee borders in the United States and said that the United Kingdom had faced a similar challenge with migrants crossing the Channel in small boats.
“You have people who enter and I told the Prime Minister that I would stop it, and no matter that you call the army, no matter what you use,” said Trump.
“It destroys the countries of the interior and we now remove a lot of people who have entered our country.”
Since his return to the White House in January, Trump has intensified the deportations of illegal immigrants and has repressed illegal border crossings.
In two days of pump and ceremonial, the American president was organized at the castle of Windsor by King Charles and the royal family, and attended a state banquet on Wednesday before his political discussions with the Prime Minister on Thursday.
President and First Lady Melania Trump left the United Kingdom of Stansted Air Force airport shortly after the press conference.
In a large Q&R with journalists from the United Kingdom and the United States, leaders were also questioned about the Palestinian state, freedom of expression, war in Ukraine, energy and other subjects.
The pair praised the “special relationship” between the United Kingdom and the United States, and announced a new technological agreement that Trump said that the Allies would help “dominate” them in the world of artificial intelligence (AI).
The technological prosperity agreement signed at Checkers will see American companies invest in the United Kingdom and stimulate cooperation on AI, Quantum and other emerging technologies.
Trump and Sir Keir have bypassed several controversial questions, including accusations of freedom of expression in Great Britain, and the dismissal of Peter Mandelson as an ambassador of the United Kingdom in the United States last week.
“I do not actually know him,” said Trump, when he was asked if he had sympathy with Lord Mandelson.
In what could have been an embarrassing moment, Trump defused the question by giving Sir Keir, who dismissed Lord Mandelson on his links with the sex offender sentenced Jeffery Epstein.
In a flash point, Trump said that he had “disagreement with the Prime Minister” on the subject of the Palestinian state.
The Prime Minister plans to recognize the Palestinian state before the United Nations General Assembly next week in New York.
Palestine has a certain international recognition but has no international borders, no capital and no army.
Currently, 147 of the 193 UN member states have recognized Palestine. By joining this list, the United Kingdom would make a strong political declaration, although largely symbolic.
Trump is opposed to such a decision and accused the Hamas Palestinian armed group of “putting the hostages as a appropriate” in Gaza.
The war in Ukraine also arose in a few questions, Trump expressing his disappointment towards Russian President Vladimir Putin about his lack of commitment to peace efforts.
“He really dropped me,” said Trump.
Trump also urged Western allies to stop buying Russian oil to force Putin at the negotiating table, but has not been committed to sanctioning Moscow.
There were no divisions between Trump and Starmer on the action to fight against illegal migration, because the leaders project a feeling of unity and affection for each other.
Besides Trump, the Prime Minister said that illegal migration was a problem that his government had “incredibly incredibly.”
Sir Keir said his government had concluded several migrant yields with other countries, including France, and had taken action to repress the gangs that turn people.
The Prime Minister underlined the first return of Migrant as part of the One One One-Out program with France.
“It’s an important step forward,” said Sir Keir. “But there is no miracle solution here.”
Until now, more than 30,000 people have crossed the chain in small boats this year.
This is the earliest point of a calendar year that this figure was adopted since the data on the passages were reported for the first time in 2018.
The increase in crossings is one of the most important questions in British politics and has put pressure on the Prime Minister to find a solution.
As part of his desire to combat illegal immigration, Trump has published a series of decrees implementing a large asylum ban for migrants entering the southern border and sent troops to help border security efforts.
The arrests of migrants by the American border patrol have decreased since Trump took office.
