US President Donald Trump blamed immigration for Saturday's riots in France, urging Paris to tighten its reception policies. He posted on Truth Social that immigration of people "with hatred in their hearts" destroyed a once-great country. The protests, which drew 550,000 attendees per the Interior Ministry or over 800,000 per organizers, affected 1,500 businesses and caused hundreds of millions in damages. Police detained 1,800 people nationwide by Sunday morning. French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the violence, promising perpetrators would be "pursued and punished." He is scheduled to address the nation on television at 8:00 PM local time Sunday, following the demonstrations against the high cost of living.
