Or is it too late?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His comments echoed the argument of the administration of US President Donald Trump that mass migration represents a danger to European civilisation.<\/p>\n<p>US Vice President JD Vance on Friday blamed Britain\u2019s handling of the murder of a white student by a Sikh man on what he called civilisational decline caused by an \u201cinvasion\u201d of migrants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMay we learn from this past,\u201d Hegseth said in reference to the pivotal involvement of American troops in the Allied landings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe men buried here fought in a war-fighting alliance where every partner\u2026 brought its full measure of industry, courage and sacrifice,\u201d he said in front of the 9,387 white crosses of American soldiers killed in action during the Battle of Normandy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot empty slogans, not lavish summits, not communiques.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReal allies doing real things, taking real losses for a shared cause worth fighting and dying for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Peace \u2018through strength\u2019 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>He said that while America \u201cwill lead\u201d its \u201ccapable allies must be right there with us, shoulder-to-shoulder in the breach when it matters\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration has also accused Europe of not pulling its weight to ensure the continent\u2019s security and has even floated pulling out of NATO.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeace is secured only through strength,\u201d he told the audience including French armed forces Minister Catherine Vautrin, without referring explicitly to the US-Israeli war against Iran.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it\u2019s strength on both sides of the Atlantic, fortified by readiness, shared military capabilities and an unwavering political will,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Normandy landings on June 6, 1944, were the largest amphibious operation in history.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>An armada of 6,939 ships and 132,700 British, Canadian, American, Belgian, Norwegian, and Polish troops stormed 80 kilometres (50 miles) of Normandy beaches.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The operation contributed decisively to the victory over Nazi Germany, which was also being squeezed by USSR forces to the east.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
