U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a stark warning on Saturday, asserting that Europe faces an “invasion of dangerous ideologies” arriving by sea, drawing a controversial link between contemporary immigration and the legacy of the D-Day landings.

His remarks were delivered in Normandy during commemorations for the 82nd anniversary of the Allied landings, which saw U.S. and Allied forces liberate Western Europe from Nazi occupation.

Hegseth’s comments echo criticisms frequently voiced by President Donald Trump regarding Europe.

Washington has often argued that the region is hindered by weak defenses, an inability to manage immigration, excessive bureaucracy, and the “censorship” of far-right and nationalist voices.

Speaking at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, Hegseth stated, “Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different, dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive.”
