The Dalai Lama on Thursday criticized President Donald Trump for having a "lack of moral principle."
In an interview with the BBC, the Tibetan spiritual leader also said Trump's "America First" mantra is wrong, and America "should take the global responsibility."
"His emotions [are] also a little bit," he said, making a gesture waggling his finger near his temple. "One day he says something, another day he says something. But I think [there is a] lack of moral principle. When he became president, he expressed America first. That is wrong. America, they should take the global responsibility."
The Dalai Lama, 83, also said migrants seeking refuge in Europe should return "to their own land" and should a woman succeed him, he suggested she would have to be "more attractive."
"A limited number is OK, but whole Europe eventually become Muslim country? Impossible. Or African country? Also impossible," he said.
"European countries should take these refugees and give them education and training, and the aim is return to their own land with certain skills."
