IN THE wake of US Vice President JD Vance’s comments about the ‘invasion of migrants’ in Europe, we now have the US defence secretary Pete Hegseth likening recent sea arrivals in Europe to an ‘invasion’, warning that freedoms won in 1944 remain under threat.
Hegseth’s remarks were delivered at the American Colleville-sur-Mer cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach in Normandy during commemorations of the 82nd anniversary of the D-Day landings.
