U.S. President Donald Trump and his top officials are slamming Spain over the migrant crisis unfolding in Ceuta, after about 50,000 migrants crossed into the northern African exclave from Morocco since Wednesday.
“I saw Spain yesterday, and I watched the catastrophe that took place. It looks like an invasion of a country,” said Trump at a cabinet meeting on Friday. “Hundreds of thousands of people. And that same thing’s going to happen to us if the Republicans don’t get elected, except worse, much bigger, much easier to get into.”
The U.S. Department of State was more categorical in laying the blame squarely on the Socialist administration of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
