In his first address at the United Nations General Assembly since 2020, US President Donald Trump warned Europe on Tuesday that irregular migration is “destroying your heritage” and ruining its countries.
Trump called immigration and policies confronting climate change a “double-tailed monster” that is ruining the European continent, particularly harsh in his condemnation of what he called “the unmitigated immigration disaster.”
“If you don’t stop people that you’ve never seen before, that you have nothing in common with, your country is going to fail,” Trump said.
“I’m the president of the United States, but I worry about Europe. I love Europe, I love the people of Europe. And I hate to see it being devastated by energy and immigration, that double-tailed monster that destroys everything in its wake.”
“You’re doing it because you want to be nice,” he said in a direct address to the European leaders. “You want to be politically correct, and you’re destroying your heritage.”
“It’s time to end the failed experiment of open borders. You have to end it now. I can tell you, I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell,” Trump said.
In recent years, European countries have tightened borders and access to asylum for third-country nationals. The European Union is also implementing a common pact for migration and asylum, which will impose stricter rules within the Schengen area.

The share of non-EU citizens in all 27 member states totalled 6.4% of the overall EU population in 2024, according to Eurostat.
During his hour-long speech, Trump accused the UN of facilitating and investing in irregular migration worldwide.
Referring to the US, he said the intergovernmental organisation facilitated the entrance of “millions” of migrants into the country.
“The UN is supporting people that are illegally coming into the United States, and we have to get them out,” Trump said, and added that the top international organisation should “stop invasions, not create them and not finance them.”
Although he did not explicitly name them, Trump was likely referring to two of the UN’s aid agencies supporting migrants and refugees worldwide, the IOM and the UNHCR.
