Navigating the Migrant Crisis: Starmer Faces Trump's Advice

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized the critical importance of effectively executing a migrant returns deal with France, highlighting it as a pivotal measure to control the number of arrivals in the country.

In a statement that stirred diplomatic waters, former U.S. President Donald Trump urged Starmer to consider military intervention if necessary. "You have people coming in, and I told the Prime Minister I would stop it," Trump remarked to reporters, insisting on using any means necessary to address the issue.

Starmer responded by reaffirming Britain's commitment to its "one in, one out" agreement with France, underscoring the need to prove the model's efficacy.
