Macron slams Trump for spreading false claims about France riots
French President Emmanuel Macron criticized foreign leaders, including US President Donald Trump, for spreading false information about the riots in France. Macron said there was no evidence of foreign involvement in the unrest but accused outsiders of manipulating information. Speaking at a press conference in Doha, Qatar, Macron called comments about "hordes of migrants and Islamists" invading France "unacceptable and stupid." He accused Trump and other politicians of "campaigning on our backs" by using AI-generated information during election periods. France faces new protest calls for Saturday from yellow vest groups and unions, with curfews imposed in several cities. The country's financial situation is worsening as ten-year bond yields exceeded five percent, the highest in 22 years, ahead of presidential elections in six months.
