Macron hits back at Trump and Netanyahu over 'campaigning on France's back'

French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday criticized "foreign leaders" for "campaigning on the backs of France," calling their comments "unacceptable and foolish," in an apparent reference to Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu over weekend riots. Macron denied "foreign interference" in the unrest but condemned "manipulation" of information, citing AI-generated images and false claims of a "migrant invasion." He said those speaking badly about France "obviously do not love our country." Trump had claimed France was being "invaded, looted, and burned" by migrants, while Netanyahu said it "succumbed to the invasion of extremist Islam." French far-right leader Marine Le Pen accused Macron of "conspiracy theories."
