Donald Trump says of migrant surge into Ceuta: "I have never seen anything like it"
“I have never seen anything like it”
Reported September 4, 2026 by indiatimes.com. Checked word for word against that report.
In excerpts from a GB News interview released Thursday, Donald Trump discussed the late-July surge of migrants into Ceuta, saying Spain’s failure to meet its NATO obligations would ruin the country. Tens of thousands of people crossed from Morocco into the Spanish territory on July 30–31. Trump described the episode as deeply distressing, said Britain had migration problems but not such visible mass arrivals, and expressed astonishment at the scale of the border movement. The remarks were his latest public response to the crisis. He had earlier accused Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s government of having overly permissive laws and responding ineptly. Trump also cited a contested Spanish Supreme Court interpretation about returning migrants who swam to Ceuta, which Spain’s government says was among the false statements that encouraged crossings.
