Donald Trump urged Keir Starmer to deploy the military to stop the Channel boats crisis breaking Britain today.
At a tense joint press conference, the US president warned that illegal immigration ‘destroys countries from within’ – as he highlighted his own success in securing America’s borders.
Mr Trump also bluntly stated that he ‘disagreed’ with Sir Keir’s plan to recognise a Palestinian state, urged the UK to do more drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea, and pointedly hailed the ‘traditions of British liberty’.
'I told the Prime Minister I would stop it!'
