Trump Praises Italy’s Far-Right Anti-Immigration Policies

HeadlineJul 31, 2018

President Trump praised Italy’s far-right anti-immigrant policies on Monday during a news conference with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.

President Donald Trump: “I agree very much what you’re doing with respect to migration and illegal immigration and even legal immigration. Italy has taken a very firm stance on the border, a stance that few countries have taken. And frankly, you’re doing the right thing, in my opinion.”

Italy has recently begun blocking refugee boats from docking at its ports, stranding asylum seekers at sea in the Mediterranean.
