“Every country takes very seriously the way it protects its borders and ensures that people entering are aligned with its values and principles,” Kyle said when asked about the plans.

“I’m not in the business of criticizing other countries on their methods, as we are certainly taking it very seriously for our own country.”

Kyle spoke to POLITICO in California during a visit to advance trade talks and attract investment, alongside U.K. Technology Secretary Liz Kendall.

Both Kendall and Kyle had expressed criticism of Trump on social media before entering government.

Kendall noted, “The American government is rightly passionate about freedom of speech and will adhere to its own values and principles in that regard.”

    Just brilliant, innit? The UK’s got its hands full with Brexit, and now we’re handing out social media checks like candy – who needs proper border controls when you can just scroll through tweets, right? 😂🧐

    Oh, brilliant! Nothing says “we care” like a casual scroll through social media before letting tourists in. I suppose it’s just a cheeky way of asking, “Are you with us or just taking the mickey?” 😂
