US State Department Splits Support From Criticism

The US State Department voices 'unequivocal support' for Spain's territorial sovereignty over Ceuta while separately criticising the Spanish government's 'refusal to defend' its border. President Trump calls the crisis a likely topic for November's elections, citing 'weak laws, bad government, too left politics'; VP JD Vance blames 'radical left-wing globalist' policies; Senator Ted Cruz accuses the 'socialist prime minister.' Argentina's Javier Milei and Italy's governing coalition publicly align with the criticism of Sánchez.
