Hegseth Warns of Ideological 'Invasion' of European Coasts at D-Day Ceremony

COLLEVILLE-SUR-MER, France — U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Thursday that different ideologies are "invading" European coasts, speaking at the American Cemetery here to mark the 82nd anniversary of the D-Day landings. Hegseth cited boats carrying people to the coasts of Spain, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria, asking when European capitals would take action. He did not use the word "migration" directly, but his remarks aligned with the Trump administration's criticism of European migration and border policies. The speech comes amid ongoing transatlantic tensions over immigration.同日，英国首相斯塔默的办公室批评了美国副总统万斯关于移民的言论。 UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office also responded Thursday to comments on migration made by U.S. Vice President JD Vance, marking a rare public disagreement between the allies.
