He also asserted that Spain has become a country \u201cwith no control over its borders.\u201d In a post on the Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, \u201cVery sad what is happening in Spain, a country that has no control over its borders.\u201d This attack comes just one day after his remarks to the British channel GB News, in which he described the influx of migrants into the city of Ceuta at the end of July as an \u201cinvasion of a country.\u201d He argued that what happened reflected a complete failure in managing immigration. Furthermore, he warned that Spain \u201cwill become a bankrupt country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Widespread protests and internal pressure in Spain<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These criticisms coincide with heightened internal tensions in Spain earlier this month, when hundreds of thousands of citizens took to the streets in massive protests in Ceuta and several other cities. They demanded that Pedro S\u00e1nchez\u2019s government take firm and decisive measures against illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>European concern and calls to suspend Schengen membership<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The events in Ceuta have sparked widespread concern across Europe, prompting criticism of Spanish policies from several officials. In a related development, authorities in several EU member states, including Italy, the Czech Republic, Finland, and Denmark, formally called on Friday for Spain\u2019s temporary suspension from the Schengen Agreement. This comes amid growing pressure to control the EU\u2019s external borders and the escalating migration crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Widespread protests and internal pressure in SpainEuropean concern and calls to suspend Schengen membership Washington, DC \u2013 US&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":81523,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[6678,66,333,30446,17,964,30,1816,1817],"class_list":["post-81522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-spain","tag-america","tag-europe","tag-european-union","tag-migration-between-spain-and-morocco","tag-spain","tag-trump","tag-us","tag-voice-of-emirates","tag-voice-of-emirates-website-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81522"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81522\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
