President Donald Trump on Monday again blamed immigration for protests and violence in France, urging Europe and President Emmanuel Macron to tighten borders. He said the unrest was caused by immigration, not other factors. Trump told reporters in Washington that he had advised Macron to close borders, recounting a past warning about immigration. Weekend demonstrations over soaring prices in Paris and other cities led to some of the worst street violence France has seen in recent years. Trump also claimed Paris would soon become a Muslim city and said Europe would be "finished" without border closures. He made combating illegal immigration a central pledge of his 2024 campaign, sometimes relying on false claims.
