GB News star Bev Turner questioned Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on whether they agree that Europe is being 'crushed' by immigration.
The question comes as the EU hopes to strike a trade deal with the US during Donald Trump's visit to Scotland.
Speaking at the press conference before the meeting, Bev asked the US president if the European Commission President agreed with his earlier comments that Europe is being "crushed" by migration.
She said: "You said that Europe is being crushed by mass migration, and I wonder whether your friends on this side of the room agree with you on that."

Ursula von der Leyen responded: "So we have been working intensively on the topic of irregular migration, and we have, from the very beginning said that migration is a European challenge that needs a European answer.
"As Europeans, we will fulfill our international obligations as we've done in the past, also in the future.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
"But we as Europeans are the ones who decide who comes to the European Union and under what circumstances, and not the smugglers and traffickers. That's the principle in which we are working."
Donald Trump replied: "I will say this: you know, they did ask me when I got off the plane.
"Immigration. Europe has a tremendous problem, and we do too. But we've sealed our borders, our border.
"We have nobody coming in, and we have hundreds of thousands of people being taken out, the bad ones first.
"And I think we're doing a very good job of that. Last month, we literally registered zero people coming in. You probably saw that, nobody.
"Europe has a very similar problem. I think they're going to end up in the same place. You might as well get there quicker.
"And the other thing I say to Europe: we will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States. They're killing us. They're killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful plains.
"And I’m not talking about airplanes; I’m talking about beautiful plains, beautiful areas in the United States. You look up, and you see windmills all over the place. It’s a horrible thing.
"It’s the most expensive form of energy. It’s no good."

Trump arrived in Scotland for golf at his Turnberry estate and bilateral talks that could yield a trade deal with the European Union.
The 47th President also revealed that he would discuss the US-UK trade deal with Sir Keir Starmer, opening the door to "improving" the arrangement.
President Trump will also meet First Minister John Swinney, with the SNP leader stressing the meeting was an opportunity to "demonstrate the principles of freedom and justice for all".
Swinney said he would bring up the "global and humanitarian issues of significant importance, including the unimaginable suffering we are witnessing in Gaza".
He said: "This weekend is a landmark moment in our relationship with the United States, and I am certain it will be remembered for Scotland showing the world the very best of itself."
