President Donald Trump has criticized Europe, suggesting that the U.S. should focus more on issues like “migrant rape gangs, drug lords, murderers, and people from mental institutions” rather than worrying about Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump made the statement on his Truth Social platform, warning that America could “end up like Europe” if it doesn’t address these issues.
This comment follows a tense meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, where Trump threatened to abandon Ukraine unless his peace terms were accepted.
Meanwhile, European leaders, including British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, have urged the U.S. to continue supporting Ukraine and to ramp up defense spending.
Trump’s isolationist stance and calls for NATO reform have raised concerns in Europe, with some leaders fearing a pullback of U.S. military support.
