Trump suggests Starmer could use military to control UK borders
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested that Sir Keir Starmer, leader of the UK’s Labour Party, could consider using the military to control the country’s borders. The statement came during an interview with Nigel Farage on GB News on Monday evening.
During the interview, Trump expressed his concerns about illegal immigration and suggested that Starmer could follow the example set by other countries, such as Russia, in using military personnel to secure borders effectively. Trump also criticized the current situation in the United Kingdom, stating that “your country’s being changed very rapidly.”
In response to Trump’s comments, a spokesperson for Starmer stated that the Labour Party’s policy is clear – they do not support the use of the military to patrol borders. The spokesperson emphasized that the focus should be on investing in more border personnel and new technologies to enhance border security.
This statement from Trump comes amidst ongoing discussions in the UK about immigration policies and border control measures in the post-Brexit era. The issue of immigration remains a contentious topic, with various parties proposing different approaches to address border security and illegal crossings.
Both Trump and Starmer’s comments have sparked debate among the public and policymakers regarding the most effective strategies to manage immigration and ensure national security.
