President Donald Trump said on Fox News Friday that the massive wave of migrants flooding Ceuta, Spain, is 'terrible' and warned that the same could happen in the United States within three years if the 'wrong side' comes to power. 'Remember this image,' he said. 'It will be us in three years if the wrong side comes to power.'
President Donald Trump responded on Fox News on Friday to the mass migration crisis in Ceuta, Spain, calling the situation 'terrible' and warning that the same could happen in the United States within three years if the 'wrong side' comes to power.
The statement comes amid a surge of migrants from North Africa that has overwhelmed the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, with local authorities warning of a breakdown in reception capacity. The Zioneer has previously reported on the crisis, including a court ruling that blocked immediate returns of migrants to Spain and a local governor's warning of 'chaos.'
Trump has repeatedly criticized European migration policies in recent months. As The Zioneer reported on June 24, he called Spain a 'shame show' and expressed disappointment with European allies. On July 8, he referred to Spain as a 'lost cause' and ordered the Treasury Secretary to cut trade ties. The latest remarks extend that pattern of warnings, this time explicitly linking the European situation to a potential future in the United States.
No further details were provided by the president regarding specific policy steps, and the remarks remain a statement of opinion rather than an announced policy change.
