Trump blames ‘radical left globalists’ for migrant crisis happening in Spain

  • Donald Trump criticized the migrant situation in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, calling it a “catastrophe” and an “invasion,” and warned of similar events in the U.S. if Republicans are not elected.
  • His White House administration, including Vice President JD Vance and the US Department of State, explicitly blamed Spain's left-wing government and its “radical left-wing globalist policies” for enabling mass migration.
  • The crisis involved an estimated 60,000 migrants crossing from Morocco into Ceuta, with at least 77 fatalities reported.
  • Tech billionaire and Trump adviser Elon Musk initially compared the situation to the zombie film World War Z before clarifying and linking it to U.S. border issues under the Biden administration.
  • Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez condemned the influx as an “attack on Spain’s territorial integrity,” though Spain's foreign minister stated that practically all migrants who entered Ceuta have since returned to Morocco.
