Trump asks new UK prime minister to tackle illegal migration

US President Donald Trump called on the newly appointed UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham to address illegal migration, claiming the issue is 'killing' the UK. Trump criticized Burnham for initially avoiding the topic and accused the UK of facing an 'invasion' from migrants arriving from Africa, South America, and Asia. This follows reports of over 500 migrants crossing the English Channel into Britain via small boats. The UK government faces scrutiny over its handling of asylum seekers, with Home Office data showing a sharp increase in Channel crossings during Burnham's first week in office. Trump also praised Burnham's leadership and mentioned ongoing discussions about North Sea oil drilling, though tensions could arise due to Burnham's choice of Ed Miliband as Foreign Secretary, who previously criticized Trump.
