Trump uses “sad” Ceuta crisis again to criticize Spain, “a country with zero control of its border”

US President Donald Trump has expressed sadness over the migration crisis in Ceuta, Spain, describing it as "very triste" (very sad) on his social media platform. He stated that Spain has "ZERO control of its border" following a massive influx of immigrants from Morocco in late July. Trump also referenced the crisis in an interview with British news channel GB News, saying he had never seen anything like it, although he later backtracked on this statement.

The comments come amid tense relations between Trump and the Spanish government, with Trump previously criticizing Spain's defense spending and its stance on Israel.
