Trump Criticizes Spain's Border Control Amid Ceuta Migrant SurgePreviousNext

US President Donald Trump criticized Spain for having "zero control" over its border amid a migrant surge from Morocco into the Spanish territory of Ceuta. He described the situation as "an outrage" and warned it could harm Spain and Europe by allowing migrants to move beyond Spain. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez denied any solid proof that Morocco orchestrated the influx, stating no evidence had been provided by authorities. The situation remains under diplomatic and political scrutiny.
