France rebuffs Trump's migration unrest claim as 'stupid talk'

aljazeera.com —

French President Emmanuel Macron dismissed US President Donald Trump's comments linking unrest in France to migration as "stupid talk," rejecting claims of foreign interference behind the riots. Trump said at the White House that Europe faces collapse unless it closes borders, while Macron, visiting Qatar, said no evidence supports such claims. Student protesters also dismissed Trump's remarks, focusing instead on domestic issues like school conditions and cost of living. The violence followed student demonstrations over school funding, with over 2,000 people detained, mostly minors. Analysts suggest Trump's comments target American voters ahead of midterm elections, while French authorities blame hard-left groups, not migrants, for the disorder.
