President Donald Trump said Friday that the mass migrant arrivals in Spain's Ceuta enclave look like 'an invasion,' according to a report. Trump warned that the same could happen in the United States if the 'wrong side' wins the election.
President Donald Trump described the mass migrant arrivals in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta as 'like an invasion' in remarks reported Friday evening, warning that the same could happen to the United States if the 'wrong side' wins the election. 'It looks like an invasion of a country by hundreds of thousands of people,' Trump said.
The statement is Trump's second on the Ceuta crisis today. He earlier told Fox News that the surge could reach the US within three years, as The Zioneer reported at 17:07 Jerusalem time. The crisis has seen an estimated 60,000 migrants enter Ceuta since Thursday, overwhelming local authorities. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has described the infiltration as an attack on national sovereignty.
The enclave, a Spanish territory on the African coast, has been a flashpoint for migration policy. Earlier in the week, over 25,000 migrants returned to Morocco amid reports of harsh conditions, according to the Spanish Interior Ministry. A court ruling also blocked the immediate return of migrants to Spain, complicating the government's response. The situation remains fluid, with additional reports projecting further arrivals.
