Trump says French and Germans could face 'extreme vetting' before entering US because their countries have been 'compromised by terrorism'
In his showpiece speech at the Republican National Convention, he asserted his desire to suspend immigration with countries where terror attacks were rife.
He expanded on his aggressive policy on NBC'sMeet The Press where he blamed France and Germany for letting terror flourish, saying: 'It's their own fault... They allowed people to come into their territory.'
When asked if the controversial policy may keep 'a lot of people' from being allowed into the country he said: 'Maybe we get to that point.'
Not only did he blame Germany and France for allowing 'terrorists' to creep across their borders, he claimed Britain left the EU because of radicalization in mainland Europe.
He said: 'There are specific problems in Germany and we have problems with France... They have totally been [compromised by terrorism].
'And that's why Brexit happened, okay? Because the UK is saying, "We're tired of this stuff, what's going on, we're tired of".
'We're going to have tough standards. And if a person can't prove that they're from an area, and if a person can't prove what they have to be able to prove, they're not coming into this country.'
He said his bitter presidential rival Hillary wanted to bring in 550 per cent more Syrians than her predecessor Barack Obama and he would stop migration from the region in 'two seconds'.
'I think she's crazy,' said the real estate mogul who also reasserted his vow to build a border along the US-Mexico border if he is elected the country's 45th president.
Trump went on to say that - under him - America would build a 'safe haven' for Syrian in the Middle East and the wealthy Gulf States would pay for it. It mirrored his assertion that Mexico would pay for the wall separating it from America.
He said: 'They're [Gulf States] not doing much. They have nothing but money. We will get them to pay for it.'
The billionaire businessman also slammed Clinton for selecting Tim Kaine as her vice president nominee, branding the Virginia senator as 'corrupt'.
