PoliticsTrump borrows far-right rhetoric to blame France unrest on immigration

Donald Trump and JD Vance blamed immigrants for unrest in France, although the demonstrations began with student protests over deteriorating schools and the cost of living. Saturday’s nationwide protests also reflected rising fuel prices and falling purchasing power; clashes in several cities left a historic town hall burned and 1,800 people arrested. Trump said he had warned Emmanuel Macron and urged France to close its borders.
