For the second time in a week, a top Trump administration official has publicly criticized Europe over migration levels, the latest in a series of attacks aimed at political leaders on the continent.

Pete Hegseth warned on Saturday that Europe faced what he ‌called an invasion of dangerous ideologies arriving by sea, linking immigration to the legacy of the D-Day landings in remarks in Normandy.

Migration has become a major political issue across Europe in recent years, with parties supporting hardline immigration policies surging in the polls.
