timesofindia.indiatimes.com —

President Donald Trump blamed immigration for violent unrest in France, urging the country to close its borders, as protests over living costs escalated into clashes, looting, and arson. French authorities reported around 1,800 arrests and hundreds of injuries following Saturday’s demonstrations, which drew an estimated 550,000 to 800,000 people. In Limoges, a 143-year-old city hall was partially destroyed in an arson attack. Trump and Vice President JD Vance linked the unrest to Western liberal immigration policies, with Vance warning Americans that this represents the future Democrats seek. Protests united students, unions, and activists over rising costs and deteriorating public services.
