Trump and Vance blame French riots on migration, urge border closures

US President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance attributed riots in French cities to uncontrolled migration, with Trump urging France to close its borders and restore order. Trump stated on Truth Social that immigration has "broken" the country. Vance claimed Western liberals imported the "third world" into France, neglecting assimilation, and warned Americans this is the future Democrats seek for the U.S. ahead of November 3 congressional elections. He referenced a burning town hall in Limoges. Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar also linked the French unrest to migration, defending Hungary's strict approach and suggesting most European countries want to change overly lenient migration policies.
