Government condemns Vance and Hegseth's warnings to the UK

Pete Hegseth warns Europe faces 'invasion of dangerous ideologies' during D-Day anniversary speech

His remarks were delivered in Normandy during commemorations for the 82nd anniversary of the landings during the Second World War, which saw American and allied forces liberate Western Europe from Nazi occupation.

Hegseth's comments echo criticisms frequently voiced by President Trump regarding Europe and its immigration policies.

Speaking at the ceremony at the Normandy American Cemetery in ​Colleville-sur-Mer, Hegseth said: "Sadly today, different European beaches are ​stormed by different, dangerous ideologies.

Almost 133,000 troops from the US the British Commonwealth, and their allies landed on the beaches.

The remarks come a day after US Vice President claimed that student Henry Nowak would still be alive if Europe had tightened its grip on the "mass invasion of migrants".

JD Vance described the 18-year-old's death as "tragic as it is enraging" in the latest intervention by the Trump administration over the case.

He said: "Henry Nowak died the same way a civilisation dies, abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit.

"His murder is as tragic as it is enraging."
