US President Donald Trump has criticized Western Europe’s migration policies, calling them ‘suicidal energy ideas’ that will lead to the region’s downfall. Trump warned that uncontrolled migration is the ‘number one political issue of our time,’ urging immediate action to secure borders and limit migrant inflows.
During his address at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Trump emphasized that the crisis of uncontrolled migration is a critical challenge that requires urgent attention. He accused the UN of funding an ‘assault on Western countries and their borders,’ citing the $372 million spent by the organization in 2024 on supporting an estimated 624,000 people migrating to the US.
Trump’s remarks have sparked debate over the effectiveness of migration policies in Europe and the role of international organizations in managing the crisis. His comments reflect a broader concern over the impact of large-scale migration on national sovereignty and economic stability.
While Trump’s warnings have been met with mixed reactions, his call for immediate action underscores the complexity of addressing migration challenges in a globalized world.
