'You Gotta Get Your Act Together...': In Scotland, Trump Warns Europe Against Immigration
@Source: news18.com
US President Donald Trump has issued a sharp warning to European leaders, claiming that uncontrolled immigration is “killing Europe” and threatening the continent’s cultural and political identity. Speaking shortly after arriving in Scotland as part of a personal visit, Trump urged Europe to “get your act together” before it is “too late”. “Immigration is killing Europe,” Trump told reporters at Glasgow Prestwick Airport. “You’re not going to have Europe anymore if this continues,” he said. The comments came at the start of Trump’s multi-day visit to his golf resorts in Scotland, which he described as “celebratory”. Despite the casual setting, the President used the opportunity to deliver pointed political messages, singling out immigration as an existential threat to Europe. “You’ve got to stop this horrible invasion that’s happening to Europe,” he added. Trump stopped short of naming specific European leaders he believes have handled immigration properly, saying only that “a few countries are getting it right”, Moneycontrol reported. “Some are handling it well and I give them a lot of credit,” he said. “But I won’t name them because I don’t want to insult others.” He further claimed that under his policies, the United States had recently achieved “zero entries” at its borders, boasting, “We shut it down. Last month, we had nobody entering our country illegally.” Euronews reported that Trump also said his administration had deported “a lot of bad people that got in under Biden”. The President’s rhetoric mirrored themes he has frequently repeated on the campaign trail, often linking immigration with crime and social instability. His comments in Scotland also echoed the controversial “Great Replacement” theory, which suggests that immigration is eroding traditional Western values and demographics—a viewpoint widely criticised by human rights groups and mainstream politicians. Trump’s remarks have drawn mixed reactions across Europe. Some far-right leaders have welcomed his tough stance, while others have condemned his comments as divisive and inflammatory. European Commission officials declined to comment directly, but a spokesperson reiterated the EU’s commitment to a “balanced and humane approach to migration,” Mint reported. According to the United Nations’ 2020 estimates, about 87 million international migrants were living in Europe. In addition to immigration, Trump took aim at Europe’s energy policies, particularly its reliance on wind power. He argued that wind turbines are “ruining” the natural landscape and “killing birds”, repeating claims he has made in the past without offering evidence. “You’re destroying the beauty of your countries,” he was quoted as saying by AP News. As part of his visit, the US President is expected to spend the weekend at his Turnberry resort on Scotland’s west coast. On Monday, he will head north to Aberdeen, where he plans to inaugurate a second golf course. The new course is named in tribute to his late mother, who spent her early years on a Scottish island before emigrating to the United States.
