President Donald Trump was on a state visit in the UK and continued pushing his immigration agenda. Despite the UK having its own policies, geography, and demographics, Trump suggested they should consider deploying military forces against migrants crossing the Channel from France. A cabinet minister responded to Trump’s suggestion, calling it “extremely complicated.”
BBC reports that a UK cabinet minister said their army would be better utilized defending the nation than stopping asylum seekers. Trade Secretary Peter Kyle added, “The navy actually does have a working relationship with the UK Border Force, and the navy can be called upon if needed, so we do have the functional relationship that we need between our military and keeping our borders safe and secure.”
