US Secretary of State Marco Rubio criticized mass migration, calling it a mistake that threatens societal cohesion. The Trump administration refused to support the UN’s recent migration declaration, citing objections to global migration frameworks.
The US State Department emphasized its consistent opposition to UN initiatives on migration. It highlighted President Trump’s 2017 decision to reject the Global Compact on Migration, stating that subsequent events validated this stance.
Accusing UN agencies of contributing to large-scale migration into the US, the administration criticized the impact on American society. It denounced the redistribution of resources to migrants and rejected the UN’s approach to migration management.
The administration affirmed its commitment to US sovereignty over immigration policy. It emphasized prioritizing American interests and resisting any international process that could constrain decision-making on immigration matters.
Signaling a tougher stance on immigration, the administration aimed to promote remigration over managing migration. The UN’s International Migration Review Forum, associated with the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, faced criticism for its non-binding nature and implications for national sovereignty.
