EU 'in no position to judge Trump's travel ban', says Italian FM

Italian Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano said Monday the European Union, having put up its own barriers, was in no position to judge US President Donald Trump's immigration decrees. Europe "is not in a good position to give opinions about the choices of others. Or do we want to forget that we too erect walls in Europe," said Alfano in an interview with the daily Corriere della Sera. During Europe's 2015 migrant crisis, as tens of thousands of desperate people arrived mainly from the war-torn Middle East, the Balkan countries shut their borders with Hungary putting up fences to stop the influx.
