In D-Day speech, Hegseth urges Europe to counter ‘invasion’ of migrants
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth urged Europe to counter what he called an 'invasion' of migrants during a speech at the American military cemetery in Colleville-sur-mer, Normandy, on the 82nd anniversary of the D-Day landings. He also called for European countries to increase their defense contributions, though he skipped the main international ceremony marking the anniversary.
