'Immigration killing Europe': Trump calls on nations to 'stop horrible invasion'
US President Donald Trump Saturday (July 26) warned that 'immigration was killing Europe' as he arrived in Scotland for a weekend visit to meet UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer
The US leader claimed the continent risked ceasing to exist if the 'invasion' of migrants continued unchecked.
Speaking to reporters after stepping off Air Force One, Trump urged Europe to take decisive action on immigration.
'You won't have Europe anymore'
'There are a couple of things I could say, but on immigration, you've got to get your act together. You won't have Europe anymore,' he stated.
He went on to say, 'You know, last month we had nobody entering our country. We shut it down. We took out a lot of bad people that got there when Biden. Biden was a total stiff when he allowed it to happen. But you're allowing it to happen to your countries. And you've got to stop this horrible invasion. This immigration is killing Europe.'

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has echoed similar concerns, recently warning that Britain could 'become an island of strangers' without stricter immigration measures.
His government has introduced policies aimed at tightening border controls.
Migrants in Europe
According to United Nations data, approximately 87 million international migrants were living in Europe in 2020.
Earlier this month, France and Britain signed a reciprocal migrant return agreement to curb the number of small boats crossing the English Channel.
Italy has taken a firm position on immigration, with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni declaring that she will not permit the nation to become 'Europe's refugee camp.'
Trump, who described Scotland as a 'very special place,' is in the country to open a second golf course in honour of his Scottish-born mother. He is also scheduled for a state visit to the UK from September 17 to 19.

Houthis pledge to step up shipping attacks to pressure Israel on Gaza
The Houthis, who took control of Yemen's capital Sanaa in 2014, have been striking Israel and commercial vessels in the Red Sea after Israel's war with Hamas, which rules Gaza, began in October 2023 Bloomberg Houthi militants pledged to target ships of any company that deals with Israeli ports, escalating their military operations in a bid to increase pressure on Israel to further ease restrictions on the hunger-ravaged Gaza Strip. The targeted ships will be attacked 'in any location within the reach of our armed forces,' a spokesman for the Iranian-backed group, Yahya Saree, said in televised comments. 'All our military operations will be ceased immediately upon the cessation of aggression against Gaza and the lifting of the blockade.' More than $2 trillion of global seaborne trade had passed by the coast of Yemen per year — most of which were ships heading to and from the Suez Canal on journeys between Europe and Asia. Traffic plunged by about 70 per cent after the Houthis began attacking vessels in the area and has remained low despite a lull in attacks in 2025. Israel increased aid distribution to Gaza as it faces a growing international outcry over hunger in the shattered Palestinian enclave. The Israeli army on Sunday suspended some military operations to facilitate the movement of United Nations relief convoys and restored electricity to a desalination plant in Gaza for the first time since March. The Houthis have already been targeting ships that had ties to Israel. Earlier this month, the group carried out attacks that sank two cargo ships, killed three crew members and led to detention of 11 others. These were the first such assaults on merchant vessels since November. Israel has occasionally struck Houthi targets in Yemen in retaliation.

'Very close to China deal': Trump hopeful as trade negotiators meet in Stockholm
US President Donald Trump said his administration is very close to a trade deal with China as senior negotiators from both nations meet in Stockholm read more US President Donald Trump said that Washington, DC, is 'very close' to a trade deal with China, as senior negotiators from both nations meet in Stockholm on Monday. The talks aim to resolve longstanding economic disputes that are at the heart of the trade war between the world's two largest economies. The negotiations are being conducted at a time when China is facing an Aug 12 deadline to reach a durable tariff agreement with the Trump administration. It is pertinent to note that both nations reached a preliminary deal in June to end weeks of escalating tit-for-tat tariffs. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Before meeting European Union Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen, Trump expressed optimism over the deal. 'We're very close to a deal with China. We really sort of made a deal with China, but we'll see how that goes,' the president told reporters, providing no further details over the matter. What lies ahead The Stockholm talks are led by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice-Premier He Lifeng and are coming right on the heels of Trump's biggest trade deal yet, with the EU accepting a 15 per cent tariff on its goods exports to the US and agreeing to make significant EU purchases of US energy and military equipment. Without an agreement between China and the US, global supply chains could face renewed turmoil of high duties that can go beyond the 100 per cent mark. Analysts believe that while the trade deal between Beijing and Washington, DC might not be as grand as the one Trump struck with the EU, another 90-day extension of a tariff and export control truce is more likely to be the outcome, Business Times reported. Interestingly, an extension of the deadline would prevent further escalation of the trade war between the two nations and would also create a space for a possible meeting between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. There have been speculations that the two leaders can hold talks in late October. Trump-Xi meeting on the cards? In the past, Trump has said that he will decide soon whether to visit China in a landmark trip to address trade and security tensions. 'The Stockholm meeting is an opportunity to start laying the groundwork for a Trump visit to China,' Wendy Cutler, vice-president at the Asia Society Policy Institute, told Business Times. Meanwhile, Bessent has already maintained that he wants to work out an extension of the Aug 12 deadline to prevent tariffs snapping back to 145 per cent on the US side and 125 per cent on the Chinese side. Beijing, on the other hand, is likely to request a reduction of multi-layered US tariffs totalling 55 per cent on most goods and further easing of US high-tech export controls, experts said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD China argued that these purchases would help reduce the US trade deficit with China, which reached US$295.5 billion in 2024. China is currently facing a 20 per cent tariff related to the US fentanyl crisis, a 10 per cent reciprocal tariff, and 25 per cent duties on most industrial goods imposed during Trump's first term.
