WorldTrump says immigration problems caused mass unrest in France

US President Donald Trump said mass unrest in France stemmed from immigration, not other issues, and said he had urged French President Emmanuel Macron to close the borders. Demonstrations over rising fuel prices and falling purchasing power took place across France on October 17. Organizers estimated 800,000 participants, while the Interior Ministry put the figure at 550,000. Protests turned into riots and clashes with police in several cities; Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said 1,800 people had been detained nationwide.
