President Donald Trump scolded the European nations during his United Nations address on Tuesday morning, specifically over immigration policies in several countries.
Europe has dealt with a major influx of people coming from Africa and the Middle East in recent years, with critics raising concerns about everything from resources to cultural assimilation.
“The UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them,” he said.

“You’re destroying your countries. They’re being destroyed. Europe is in serious trouble. They’ve been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody’s ever seen before. Illegal aliens are pouring into Europe. Nobody is doing anything to change it to get them out. It’s not sustainable. And because they choose to be politically correct, they’re doing just absolutely nothing about it,” he added.
Trump compared the situation to the United States’ own border crisis seen under the Biden administration, which led to millions of people entering the country illegally.

They have learned our languages, believe in democracy, contribute to our societies and have decided to integrate themselves into our culture,” the letter signed by Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy, and Poland stated.

The letter noted that some migrants have opted “not to integrate” and live in “parallel societies” with values aside from “equality, democracy and freedom.”
“In particular, some have not contributed positively to the societies welcoming them and have chosen to commit crimes,” the letter continued.
