Trump Immigration Warning, UK-France Deal Shape Scotland Trip

During his visit to Scotland, US President Donald Trump reiterated his hardline stance on immigration, warning European leaders that rising migration is 'killing Europe' and urging stronger action to stop what he described as a 'horrible invasion.' Trump praised unnamed European leaders for resisting migration and contrasted his administration's border policies with those of predecessor Joe Biden, claiming a recent complete shutdown of US border crossings. The visit comes as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have announced a new reciprocal migrant returns deal, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni maintains a tough approach on migration. Trump is scheduled to meet with Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to discuss broader transatlantic relations and trade. His remarks have sparked support from nationalist groups, criticism from human rights advocates, and protests in the US. Trump also criticized European wind energy projects and referenced his family's Scottish roots and business interests.
