US president Donald Trump has on Saturday criticised Spain over the migrant crisis in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, accusing Madrid of having “ZERO control” of its border. Trump also warned that the country could become “a ruined country” as political pressure mounts on prime minister Pedro Sánchez. “Spain will be a ruined country,” Trump said, describing the influx as an “invasion of a country”. Spanish authorities said tens of thousands of people subsequently returned or were repatriated to Morocco, while thousands remained in Ceuta.
“So sad what is happening in Spain, a country with ZERO control of its Border. WOW! Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Saturday.
