France imposes curfews after riots over living costs; Trump cites unrest in midterm warning

France imposed partial curfews in Paris, Nice, and other cities after weekend riots and looting linked to protests over public services and living costs, with thousands arrested. US President Donald Trump cited the unrest at a rally to warn voters against Democratic midterm wins. Authorities arrested at least 2,400 people, with nearly 1,000 security forces injured and around 3,000 shops affected. Curfews for minors were set in Lille, Douai, Wattignies, Denain, and Nice, while Paris banned protests in designated areas and restricted movement around Place de la République and Les Halles. The violence followed weeks of student demonstrations over school conditions, expanding into broader anger over inflation and services. France also asked Vinted and eBay to remove listings of suspected stolen goods, and the Louvre remained closed after student blockades.
