Share:
Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump's nominee for Defense Secretary, delivered a speech at an American military cemetery in Normandy where he criticized European countries and called on them to take a stronger stance against migration. Hegseth also urged European nations to increase their contributions to defense spending, echoing a long-standing criticism from the Trump administration that European countries do not spend enough on their own defense. The speech took place at the historic Normandy site, where Allied forces launched the D-Day invasion during World War II.
