Speaking at a press conference where he announced the death of Isis leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the US president called European nations a “tremendous disappointment”.
After thanking Russia, Turkey, Syria and Iraq for assistance in the operation, Mr Trump said he had personally pressured EU countries to take back Isis members.
“They came from France, they came from Germany, they came from the UK. They came from a lot of countries,” he added.
“And I actually said to them, if you don’t take them, I’m going to drop them right on your border and you can have fun capturing them again.”
Mr Trump suggested that if detainees escape Kurdish-controlled camps, the US will not “capture people that want to go back to Germany, France, UK and other parts of Europe”.
“They could walk back – they can’t walk to our country. We have lots of water in between our country and them,” he added.
