‘Stop immigration and … wind mills': Trump tells Europe to get its ‘act together'; boasts about US-Mexico border crackdown
US President Donald Trump arrived in Scotland on Friday evening for a five-day visit combining official meetings, business, and personal travel.
Speaking to reporters after stepping off Air Force One, Trump made strong remarks on immigration in Europe.
"On immigration, you better get your act together. You're not going to have Europe anymore," he said.
He called immigration an "invasion" that was "killing Europe."
'You've got to stop this horrible invasion that is happening to Europe, many countries in Europe."
"Some leaders have not let it happen, and they're not getting the proper credit... I could name them to you right now, but I'm not going to embarrass the other ones.
But stop, this immigration is killing Europe," Trump added.
Trump also criticised the use of wind energy across Europe.
"Stop the windmills. You're ruining your countries," he said. "It's so sad. You fly over and you see these windmills all over the place, ruining your beautiful fields and valleys and killing your birds."
He praised his administration's handling of immigration in the United States.
"Last month, we (the United States) had nobody entering our country.

Nobody. Shut it down. And we took out a lot of bad people that got there with (former US president Joe) Biden," Trump said.
"Biden was a total stiff, and what he allowed to happen.... but you're allowing it to happen to your countries, and you've got to stop this horrible invasion that's happening to Europe; many countries in Europe," he added.
During his time in Scotland, Trump will visit two golf courses that carry his name, Trump Turnberry on the southwest coast and Trump International Golf Links near Aberdeen in the northeast.
He is also scheduled to meet UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Trump has family ties to Scotland. His mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was born in 1912 on the island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. She later moved to New York during the Great Depression, where she married Fred Trump.
This visit comes ahead of an official state visit from 17 to 19 September, during which Trump and US First Lady Melania Trump will be hosted by King Charles at Windsor Castle.

Trump Warns Medvedev to Watch His Words Amid Rising U.S
Former U.S. President Donald Trump responded to former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev's war warning by telling him to 'watch his words.' post, Trump mocked both Russia and India's 'dead economies' and said the U.S. does little business with either. He called out India for having high trade barriers and said he doesn't mind if India and Russia remain allies. Medvedev responded by mentioning Russia's Dead Hand nuclear system, a Cold War-era automatic retaliation mechanism, warning Trump about the risks of provoking Russia. He also mocked Trump's tough talk, saying it proves Russia is on the right path. Trump recently gave Russia a shortened ceasefire deadline, saying President Putin has just 10–12 days to reach a peace deal with Ukraine or face more sanctions, tariffs, and possibly secondary trade penalties. This follows earlier warnings where he had given 50 days. Medvedev criticized Trump's ultimatum, saying it's a path toward war with Russia, not just Ukraine. He warned Trump not to repeat the mistakes of President Biden. Trump also announced 25% tariffs on India, blaming their trade practices and ties to Russia's military and energy markets. He described BRICS — which includes India and Russia — as 'anti-U.S.' and claimed it's trying to hurt the value of the dollar. As geopolitical brinkmanship rises, Trump made it clear that future trade sanctions and deals will depend on countries siding with U.S. policies. He celebrated his tariff strategy, saying it brings billions into the American economy and reverses decades of bad trade policies. The clash with Medvedev and aggressive trade moves signal escalating U.S.–Russia tensions and a shift in Trump's foreign policy approach.

Countdown ends — Major Tariff Increases Set to Take Effect
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum just made a new post on X, with positive remarks about her phone call with Trump and said they will use the 90 day extension to reach a deal. "We had a very good call with US President Donald Trump. We avoided the Trump tariffs increase announced for tomorrow and achieved 90 days to build a long-term agreement based on dialogue," she writes. We have more information on the developing story that the US has extended its import/export policies deal with Mexico for 90 days (which means some Mexican industrial goods will not be subject to higher tariffs starting 1 August). Trump says he hopes a trade war can be reached with Mexico within that time frame. In addition to announcing the extension, Trump said in his post on Truth Social that Mexico has agreed to "immediately terminate its Non-Tariff trade deals Barriers". "There will be continued cooperation on the Border as it relates to all aspects of Security, including Drugs, Drug Distribution, and Illegal Immigration into the United States," Trump writes. Trump also notes a "much improved global trade impact with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum." The two leaders spoke by telephone Thursday morning, he writes. "More and more, we are getting to know and understand each other," he says. In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, President Trump has announced that he and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum have agreed to extend their current deal. The latest trade negotiations between the US and Mexico is a "25% Fentanyl Tariff, 25% Tariff on Cars, and 50% Tariff on Steel, Aluminium, and Copper." We'll have more on this story shortly. Carney and Trump have been negotiating for months. After a productive meeting in the Oval Office, the situation became less clear as Trump threatened to raise their tariffs. Both leaders said this month there would be no quick, China tariffs deal. Trump also posted on social media Thursday morning that Canada's plan to recognise a Palestinian state will "make it very hard" to reach a deal. For a more in-depth look at where things stand, you can check out an earlier post from Jessica Murphy in Toronto.
