Hegseth Criticises Europe’s Migration Policies During D-Day Speech. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has criticised European governments over migration during a speech marking the anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy. Speaking 82 years after Allied forces landed on French beaches during World War Two, Hegseth said Europe was facing what he described as a new “invasion” through irregular migration. He pointed to arrivals by boat in countries including Spain, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria, and questioned whether European leaders were doing enough to respond. Migration has become a major political issue across Europe, with support growing for parties advocating stricter border controls. Hegseth’s remarks echo the Trump administration’s broader focus on immigration enforcement in the United States. The comments also follow recent criticism from Vice President JD Vance over migration issues in the UK, prompting a response from Downing Street.
