President Donald Trump couldn’t resist telling the British Prime Minister to get on with ending the UK’s migrant crisis, saying “it doesn’t matter which means you use” but that it’s easier to stop people coming than to remove them once they’ve arrived.
The final set-piece event of the two-night second full state visit to the United Kingdom for President Donald Trump passed at Chequers, the country residence of the British Prime Minister, with a joint press conference for the President and Sir Keir Starmer. The moment of maximum political danger for Starmer, Trump was studiously polite in his prepared remarks and largely refused to rise to the bait when questions from attendant press came.

Signalling the absolute urgency of getting on top of this problem, President Trump warned Sir Keir that mass arrivals of unvetted migrant arrivals “destroys countries from within”. Explaining that his administration had already solved the border crisis in the United States, President Trump told Starmer: “I think your situation is very similar, you have people coming in. And I told the Prime Minister I would stop it, it doesn’t matter if you call out the military, it doesn’t matter which means you use.”
As shocking as this may be to the ears of the British political class, for whom no border control initiative can be gentle enough, President Trump made implicit stopping arrivals was easier and more pleasant than removing illegals once they’d arrived. He continued: “we’re now actually removing a lot of people who came into our country, it’s a very hard chore. We were given a bad hand. Millions of people came in… and we are removing them and I feel very strongly about it.”
