President Donald Trump praised British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for curbing boats of illegal immigrants crossing the English Channel, telling the United Kingdom's leader he's doing a "fantastic thing."
Trump stopped for questions with Starmer and his wife, Victoria Starmer, ahead of their meeting at Trump Turnberry golf club in Scotland on Monday.
"Immigration is a big, a big factor. And I think, frankly, if they're coming from other countries, and you don't know who they are, and, are they coming from prisons? We have them where they came in from prisons who are moving them all out," Trump began. "Last month, we had zero people come into the country, zero other than coming through legal means."
"You're doing not a good thing, you're doing a fantastic thing," Trump added. So I know nothing about the boats. But if the boats are loaded up with bad people, and they usually are, because, you know, other countries don't send their best, they send people that they don't want, they're not stupid people. And they send the people that they don't want. And I've heard that you've taken a much stronger stance on."

What’s it like to be the PM of the UK, meeting the President of the U.S., at his personally owned location in the UK? LOL Even in Scotland, the UK PM is on Trump’s space, not Starmer’s. LOL
Too little, too late.
I hope the people in the UK don’t do to Starmer what others did to Kadaifi. That would be terrible.
Correct.
I don’t get Trump sometimes. Starmer is not a closed borders guy. Labour is all for open borders. Turning back boats once is not a reason to praise him. Trump also has praised Carney in Canada even though Carney does everything he can to attack Trump.
7 OR MORE MAYORS IN THE UK ARE MUSLIM
Starmer gave Trump a trade deal.
Good point. 😉
I don’t try to figure out Trump on stuff like this, as he is always 5 steps ahead of everyone else.
Wonder if the migrants will get free tickets to the Ingriftus Games, too.
Big deal— they’re still locking-up MEGA citizens for free speech.
Nice that they’re stopping them, but they need to do a mass deportation effort if they want to keep their country.
