Macron slams Trump and others for 'stupid' migrant claims about French riots

smh.com.au [$] —

French President Emmanuel Macron accused foreign leaders, including US President Donald Trump, of exploiting France's recent riots for political gain by spreading false claims about migrant involvement. Macron said "stupid" comments blaming "hordes of migrants and Islamists" were false and involved AI-generated images. Trump made unsubstantiated claims about Muslim migrants, while Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu cited an "invasion of extremist Islam." The unrest began over school conditions and living costs. Macron also secured additional diesel supplies from Gulf states during his trip, while further protests are planned despite police bans.
