Trump Blames Immigration as Riots Spread Across French Cities

US President Donald Trump blamed immigration for unrest in France and urged authorities to tighten border controls. He said the country had been damaged by migration from different cultural backgrounds. The remarks followed reports of days of protests and riots in several French cities. Government buildings were damaged, shops were looted and protesters clashed with police. The protests reportedly began among students in Paris’s northern suburbs over teacher shortages and poor school facilities. They later widened into demonstrations over inequality, rising living costs and declining public services. French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu condemned the violence and said the government would not be intimidated. He accused far-left groups and criminals of exploiting the unrest ahead of the presidential election.
