U.S. President Donald Trump suggested building a wall across the Sahara as a means to help solve the European migration crisis, Spain’s Foreign Minister Josep Borrell said.
“Closing the ports is not a solution, as neither is it a solution to build a wall across the Sahara, as President Trump suggested to me recently,” Borrell said at a lunch in Madrid on Tuesday.
