US EditionTrump urges Starmer to deploy military to ‘stop’ illegal migration
Trump urged PM Starmer to deploy military forces to halt over 31,000 migrant crossings this year, warning unchecked immigration threatens national stability, amid rising UK anti-immigrant protests.
- On September 18, 2025, US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer met at Chequers for discussions and held a joint press conference in London.

- Trump advised Starmer to use all necessary means, including military intervention, to address the UK’s small boat crisis, comparing it to his US border security achievements.
- Trump claimed that in the past quarter, his administration recorded no instances of unauthorized border crossings and emphasized that illegal immigration poses a threat to the stability of nations, urging strong and immediate measures to address it.
- This exchange highlights increased pressure on UK immigration policy and suggests potential escalations in enforcement as both leaders emphasize stringent border control.
