A top White House official has urged Britain to secure its borders in order to save its women and children.
Speaking to Bev Turner on GB News' flagship US programme, The Late Show Live, Donald Trump's counter-terror chief Sebastian Gorka called for all UN countries to secure their borders in order to protect women and children from sex slavery.
He said: "If you believe in humanity, if you want to save those children, those young women, every nation in the world should stand up and secure those borders.
"Because by doing so, you make the human trafficking of the cartels impossible.
"So if you want to save innocent women, innocent girls, then just secure your borders, whichever government you are."
Mr Gorka urged the UK to follow in the President's footsteps in taking a hard stance against illegal migrants.
"Almost two million illegals have been removed from this country or self-deported because they're petrified of our borders," he said.
But in comparison, he blasted the current British approach to asylum seekers, calling it "cushy" - and accused migrants of "playing the system" and searching for a "welfare state" rather than fleeing "politics or persecution".

Home Office data as of September 18 reveals that 31,031 migrants had crossed the Channel in a total of 261 small boats in 2025 alone.
He said that by allowing such levels of unchecked migration, the British Government is ignoring the desires of those who voted for Brexit in 2016.
Mr Gorka said: "It doesn't make any sense to the 17.4 million Britons who voted for national sovereignty in the greatest show of volition by the electorate of the United Kingdom when they voted Brexit to leave the EU."
His statements centred primarily around Donald Trump's speech at the United Nations.

Mr Gorka said: "The President believes that nations must have borders. Nations must exercise sovereignty over their territory.
"And what he means is you're not a country, you don't have an identity, if you don't control your borders and who comes into your countries."
He was also asked about his role as Senior Director for Counterterrorism, and the US's ongoing operations against Venezuelan drug cartels.
In recent weeks, the US President has ordered multiple strikes against boats carrying so-called "narcoterrorists" in a bid to stop the influx of fentanyl and other drugs.

While the moves have garnered criticism from some who have questioned the legitimacy of striking boats in international waters, Mr Gorka assured viewers it was justified.
"These people are murdering Americans by the hundreds of thousands," he warned.
"The cartels clearly declared war on us, and the President has declared war on them with utter, utter justice and righteousness.
"He is using the foreign terrorist organisation legislation to designate those cartels and those gangs as foreign terrorist organisations against which we can use deadly force."
