  • Donald Trump criticized European immigration policies, warning that accepting migrants from "third world countries" leads to becoming a "third world country."
  • He reiterated his anti-immigrant stance, claiming his return to power in 2025 was timely to prevent a "migrant invasion."
  • Trump also criticized European allies for their stances on environmental policies and their lack of support during the conflict with Iran, questioning the value of NATO.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump intensified his criticism of European immigration policies, issuing a stark warning that nations embracing migrants from "third world countries" risk becoming "third world countries" themselves. Trump made these remarks via his social media platform, Truth Social, continuing his hardline anti-immigrant rhetoric that has characterized his political career.

Europe is learning that when you welcome criminals from the third world, you become a third world country.

Trump asserted that this transformation happens rapidly, stating, "It happens quickly, in the blink of an eye." He added, "I was elected just in time!!!" referencing his repeated claims that his return to the White House was essential to save the country from what he terms a "migrant invasion." These comments come as the U.S. celebrated its 250th anniversary of Independence, a period during which Trump also warned about "newcomers who do not share the values" of the United States.

It happens quickly, in the blink of an eye. I was elected just in time!!!

The former president has frequently targeted European nations, including Spain, Italy, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, accusing them of having ineffective immigration and environmental policies. He has also labeled them "terrible" partners for not supporting the U.S. during its conflict with Iran, specifically regarding logistical support for reopening the Strait of Hormuz or granting access to military bases.

Furthermore, Trump has expressed skepticism about the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), calling the alliance a "paper tiger." He has suggested he might seriously consider withdrawing the U.S. from NATO, despite requiring congressional approval. He also threatened a 100% tariff on European imports if the European Parliament proceeds with a digital services tax targeting major tech companies like Google, Apple, Meta, and Amazon.
