Donald Trump Blames Immigration for Unrest as France Reeling From Protests

U.S. President Donald Trump blamed immigration for violent protests in France that led to 1,800 arrests and the torching of a historic town hall.

The unrest across Paris, Marseille, Lyon, and Bordeaux occurred on the sidelines of demonstrations against high inflation driven in part by the U.S.-Iran war.

Trump urged France to close its borders and take control, echoing earlier remarks by Vice President JD Vance regarding Western immigration policies.
