"Trump talked about his policies to secure borders in the US and said the UK faced a similar challenge with migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats. "You have people coming in and I told the prime minister I would stop it, and it doesn't matter if you call out the military, it doesn't matter what means you use," Trump said."
"Standing alongside Trump, the prime minister said illegal migration was an issue his government had been taking "incredibly seriously". Sir Keir said his government had struck several migrant returns deals with other countries, including France, and had been taking action to crack down on people-smuggling gangs. The prime minister pointed to the first migrant return under the one-in, one-out deal with France. "That's an important step forward," Sir Keri said. "But there's no silver bullet here.""
"More than 30,000 people have crossed the Channel in small boats so far this year. It is the earliest point in a calendar year this figure has been passed since data on crossings was first reported in 2018. The rise in crossings is one of the most prominent issues in British politics and has piled pressure on the prime minister to come up with a solution."
Donald Trump suggested using the military or any means to stop illegal migration and said he discussed migration issues with Sir Keir Starmer at Chequers. He compared UK Channel crossings to US border challenges and said the US is removing many people who entered. Sir Keir said illegal migration is being taken incredibly seriously, cited migrant return deals including France, and noted the first return under the one-in, one-out France deal. More than 30,000 people have crossed the Channel so far this year, increasing political pressure on the prime minister. The leaders projected unity and announced a new tech deal.
