The US President Donald Trump has reignited debate over Europe’s immigration policies during his latest visit to the UK, describing the continent’s handling of illegal migration as a “horrible invasion” that is “killing Europe.”

Touching down at Prestwick Airport for a four-day visit to Scotland, Trump wasted no time addressing the issue, warning European leaders to “get your act together or you’re not going to have Europe anymore.”

He added: “You’re allowing it to happen to your countries… immigration is killing Europe.”

Trump’s comments come amid renewed tensions across Europe over migration routes, with southern states pressing for tighter border controls. He made no apologies for his tough stance, which has often drawn criticism.

Though the trip includes a mix of business, diplomacy, and leisure—including meetings with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney—immigration quickly took centre stage during his impromptu remarks to the press.

While acknowledging Prime Minister Starmer as “a good man,” Trump stressed ideological differences, calling him “slightly more liberal” but praising his recent trade deal efforts.

He also noted potential negotiations with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, saying there’s a “50-50 chance” of a US-EU trade agreement—though several sticking points remain.

The visit includes stops at Trump’s Turnberry resort and the planned opening of a new golf course in Aberdeenshire, which he touted as among the world’s best.

Trump also voiced his long-held opposition to wind energy, claiming wind turbines were “ruining your beautiful fields and valleys and killing your birds.”

Amid tight security and a visible police presence, supporters and protesters gathered at various points during his arrival. Demonstrations are expected to intensify in Edinburgh and Aberdeen over the weekend.

Despite growing scrutiny back home over unresolved matters tied to Jeffrey Epstein, Trump dismissed reporters’ questions, saying: “I’m focused on making deals, not on conspiracy theories.”

The president is expected to return to the UK later this year for a state visit hosted by King Charles III.
