‘If not for Trump, US would look like Spain’: GOP rips Sanchez’s leftist policies over border crisis
The White House, President Donald Trump, and Vice President JD Vance reacted strongly after around 60,000 migrants crossed into Spain's Ceuta enclave from Morocco in just 24 hours. Trump called the scenes "an invasion of a country," while the White House and other Republican leaders used the crisis to defend the administration's border policies and criticize Spain's migration approach under Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. As violence erupted at the border and Moroccan forces used tear gas to disperse migrants, the crisis quickly became a political flashpoint in both Europe and the United States.
