During his visit to the United Kingdom and Scotland in late July 2025, former U.S. President Donald Trump strongly criticized Europe's immigration policies. Upon arrival, Trump warned that immigration is "killing Europe" and urged European countries to "get their act together" to address illegal immigration. He cautioned that failure to do so could lead to the disappearance of Europe as it is currently known. Trump also called on Europe to stop what he described as a "horrible invasion" and criticized the presence of windmills, saying they harm the continent's beauty. His remarks emphasized a sense of urgency for Europe to reform its immigration system to prevent further demographic and cultural changes. Trump highlighted that Europe is markedly different from five or ten years ago due to immigration issues and stressed that illegal immigration should not be allowed to continue unchecked. These comments were made amidst his overseas trip, where he also focused on securing trade deals for the U.S. and defending national interests.
