During today’s (28.7.25) visit of Donald Trump In Scotland, the US president proposed to the prime minister Kir Starmer To reduce taxes, limit immigration and stop crime in the United Kingdom if he wants to defeat the populist Nigel Faraj.
Specifically, Donald Trump a press conference said that politics is quite simple when asked about his friend Farage, who is leading the populist right -wing reform UK. ‘Anyone who does the following: low taxeskeeps us safe, keeps us away from wars, no criminalitystops crime and, in your case, a large part of migration“, He will be more likely to win the election, the US president said.
“The one who is tougher and more capable of immigration will win the election,” Donald Trump continued according to Bloomberg sources.
Trump’s comments, which were made as he answered questions for more than an hour with Starmer at the Turnberry Golf resort in Scotland, marked the most embarrassing public exchange of views with the British prime minister so far. The two leaders tried to emphasize their positive cooperation relationship, but the differences between them were evident when Trump advised the most liberal starman for a series of internal policies in front of the cameras.
Starmer faces increasing reviews in the United Kingdom on levels of illegal immigration that has reached a record this year, the increase of certain types of crimes such as thefts, the budget that increased taxes last year and speculation that it should further increase taxes this year. The Farage Reform Party has been at the top of the UK polls for months, with Brexit architect campaigning for taxes, crime and immigration – all policy issues raised by Trump.
The president also used the press conference to criticize wind energy, reiterating his criticism of wind turbines off the coast of his golf courses in Scotland. “The wind is a disaster,” he said, warning that “it destroys the fields, the plains and the water currents” and calling on the United Kingdom to export more oil and gas from the North Sea.
Starmer, a supporter of clean energy who has put the transition to green energy at the center of his domestic agenda, replied that he believes in a mix of energy sources.
Trump also strongly criticized London Mayor Sandik Khan, a long -term opponent, describing him as a “ugly person” who did a “terrible job”. Starmer intervened, saying he was a friend of Han, who is one of the most experienced politicians of the ruling Labor Party.
President Donald Trump also hinted that he opposes Starmer’s decision to increase the inheritance tax for farmers, saying that he himself had abolished inheritance taxes for farmers in the US.
Nevertheless, Trump has repeatedly praised Starmer’s leadership and said he was a harsh trade negotiator. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom will also be relieved by the fact that the president appeared to push Russian President Vladimir Putin, reducing the 50 -day deadline to reach a peaceful deal in Ukraine in 10 or 12 days, and also supported the efforts to increase. Asked when US duties will be reduced to zero on steel imports from the United Kingdom by 25%, as the two countries negotiated earlier this year, Trump replied: “We will learn it very soon.”
“We like each other, we respect each other, we are doing well and we both love our countries. Even if we come from different political perspectives, different backgrounds, there are in fact many common points, “Starmer said of the relationship between the two men.
