Britain urged to mobilize military to secure borders at Trump's request
In a press conference at Chequers, the country residence of former US President Donald Trump, he and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a new tech deal between the two nations. The agreement aims to allow US firms to invest in the UK and boost co-operation on artificial intelligence (AI), quantum, and other emerging technologies, with the goal of helping the allies "dominate" in this field.
During the press conference, Trump touched upon several topics, including the issue of free speech being under attack in Britain, Palestine, and illegal immigration. Regarding Palestine, Trump expressed his disagreement with the UK's plan to recognize a Palestinian state. On the matter of illegal immigration, Trump stated that it "destroys countries from within" and that the US is currently removing a lot of people who came into the country illegally. He compared the immigration issue in the UK to the challenge faced by the US with migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats. Trump suggested employing the military to stop illegal immigration in the United Kingdom, but no clear information was found about who developed the plan to deploy military units for this purpose.
Trump also addressed the sacking of Peter Mandelson as the UK's ambassador to the US, stating that he expressed no sympathy towards Mandelson. The sacking was due to Mandelson's links to the late convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein. No relevant information was found about Trump's stance on Mandelson during the press conference.
The press conference did not address the issue of illegal immigration in the UK or Trump's disagreement with the UK's plan to recognize a Palestinian state. Issues related to Palestine and free speech were also discussed.
The tech deal is expected to bolster the relationship between the US and the UK, with both nations looking to capitalize on the potential of AI and other emerging technologies. The press conference marked a significant moment in the ongoing partnership between the two nations.
