'They're coming from all over the world... They're invading Europe,' the President warned

Andy Burnham must address the migrant crisis which is "killing" Britain, Donald Trump has warned.

The President fielded questions from GB News on Wednesday on whether the new Prime Minister was avoiding the topic of immigration in his first weeks in office.

“He's going to have to mention it because it's killing your country,” Mr Trump told The People's Channel.

“I know Starmer did very little about it, and they're coming from all over the world.

"They're coming from Africa. They're coming from South America. They're coming from different parts of Asia.

“They're invading Europe,” he warned, adding: “It's an invasion, and the UK is a prime suspect.”

The President's chilling warning came just hours after more than 500 illegal migrants crossed the English Channel.

GB News revealed the new arrivals reached British waters after people smugglers launched a massive wave of 11 migrant boats from a huge stretch of coastline.

Small boats were pushed out from beaches stretching from Belgium down to the French port of Dieppe, around 130 miles further south.

The Prime Minister has so far largely steered clear of directly addressing the migrant crisis facing down his nation.

His spokesman finally fielded questions on the topic on Monday when he was asked whether Mr Burnham would like to see asylum hotels closed.

"The work on that continues," No10 said, adding there was "no change in that work that’s being carried out by the Home Secretary in her department".

Home Office figures from Mr Burnham's first week in office showed 172 people arrived on the Wednesday and 366 on Thursday after crossing in just three boats - before another 103 on Friday.

On the Makerfield MP's first day in Downing Street, Mr Trump admitted he had a "big job ahead of him".

A phone call between the duo was "interesting, and went very well", the President said. "I wished Prime Minister Burnham, GOOD LUCK AND GODSPEED!"

Last month, the President told GB News he didn't "know anything" about the Makerfield MP except that "he was, I guess, the mayor of a town".

The pair have enjoyed a relatively stable few weeks - though North Sea oil has already reared its head as a potential flashpoint.

The day before he took over from Sir Keir Starmer, Mr Trump urged Mr Burnham to open up the North Sea to drilling in a bid to "make the United Kingdom, from a poverty stricken disaster, to one of the richest countries anywhere in the world".

Sources in the US warned that appointing North Sea drilling opponent Ed Miliband as Foreign Secretary had caused "genuine anger" in Washington DC after his previous remarks decrying the President as "a racist, misogynistic, self-confessed groper".

At the same time, The Telegraph revealed how efforts to smooth relations behind the scenes are also underway.

Dame Karen Pierce, who served as Britain's ambassador in DC from 2020 to 2025, is the frontrunner to become the Foreign Office's most senior civil servant.

She is widely admired within the Trump administration, with the President himself reportedly urging Sir Keir to keep her in post rather than replacing her with Lord Mandelson.

With the war in Iran rearing its head once again, one of Mr Burnham's first acts in charge was to continue his predecessor's policy of letting American forces use British military bases for "defensive" strikes.

Withdrawing UK support would have risked the ire of the White House, though so far, Mr Burnham's decision has largely only provoked uproar from left-wing groups in Britain - and Iranian military chiefs.
