Overview
- During a White House meeting with Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin, President Trump said Europe has become “a different place” and called migration “terrible.”
- He singled out British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, alleging he allowed “millions and millions” into the UK who “should not be there,” and said the charge applies across Europe.
- Addressing Martin, Trump warned Ireland to tighten immigration and energy policy, asserting that inaction could mean “there will be no Europe anymore.”
- He said ties with Britain were “always the best” until Starmer, adding that he likes Starmer as “a nice man” but that he is “no Winston Churchill.”
- Martin defended Starmer as a serious, reliable partner and urged Trump to find “common ground” with European leaders.
