Macron rejects foreign claims blaming Muslim migrants for French riots

nbcnews.com —

French President Emmanuel Macron accused foreign leaders, including those in the United States, of exploiting France's social unrest for political gain, calling their comments "stupid" and based on false information. Macron specifically rejected claims by former President Donald Trump that Muslim migrants caused the riots over living costs, citing AI-generated images and narratives as misinformation. He said such leaders were using France for their own election campaigns. Macron made the remarks in Qatar after securing additional diesel supplies from Gulf nations, including 100,000 tonnes monthly from the UAE, to address France's energy crisis.
