The White House criticised Spain’s left-wing government after the border between Morocco and Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta was reportedly breached on Thursday, allowing thousands of migrants to cross. The administration framed the incident as a consequence of European migration policies and urged Spain and other countries to change course.

White House principal deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said President Trump had warned that “far-left, globalist” policies, including support for mass migration, would have damaging consequences. Footage cited by Fox News showed migrants crossing from Morocco into Ceuta on 30 July 2026; Spain reportedly declined to declare a national emergency.
