'Europe is not going to hell' - Taoiseach hits out at Trump's claims countries are being 'invaded' and 'ruined by mass migration'
""Europe is in serious trouble. They have been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody's ever seen before," he said. "Illegal aliens are pouring into Europe and nobody's doing anything to change it.""
""I'm really good at this stuff," Trump said. "Your countries are going to hell.""
""Europe, in my view, is a bastion of good quality living, good opportunities for people, of liberty of freedom of speech, high standards of living, and that's probably one of the most lucrative single markets in the world," Mr Martin said. "So I wouldn't necessarily agree with that perspective that Europe is going to hell," he added."
Trump attacked UN assistance for asylum seekers, saying the organisation was "funding an assault on western countries and their borders." He claimed Europe is being invaded by large numbers of illegal migrants and urged other leaders to adopt US-style immigration crackdowns, portraying migration as altering national fabrics. He rejected Palestinian statehood on grounds it would reward Hamas terrorists and threatened new tariffs on Russia over the Ukraine war. Human rights advocates say migrants seek better lives. The Irish Taoiseach pushed back, describing Europe as a bastion of high living standards and rejecting the claim that Europe is "going to hell."
