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.

  • 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.
