U.S. President Donald Trump has called on the United Kingdom to reopen North Sea oil production and strengthen efforts to tackle illegal migration, describing the two issues as among Europe’s biggest challenges.

Speaking on the UK’s energy and immigration policies, President Trump argued that increasing oil production in the North Sea would help lower energy costs, strengthen Britain’s economy, and improve long term energy security.

Trump also urged the British government to take tougher action against illegal migration, saying stronger border enforcement is needed to address growing migration pressures across Europe.

The U.S. president revealed that he recently spoke with UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, describing the conversation as positive and expressing optimism about the future of U.S.-UK relations.

Trump’s remarks come as energy security and migration continue to dominate political debate across Europe, with governments facing mounting pressure to address rising energy costs and strengthen border controls.
