Trump Blames Immigration for French Violence, Urges Border Closures

annahar.com (Arabic) —

US President Donald Trump on Monday again blamed immigration for recent protests and violence in France, urging French President Emmanuel Macron and Europe to close their borders. Trump told reporters in Washington that events in France are related to immigration, not schools or other factors, and repeated his advice to Macron to close borders. Protests over rising prices in Paris and other cities over the weekend escalated into some of the worst violence in France in recent years. Trump recounted a past conversation with Macron, warning that allowing people from around the world to enter would turn Paris into an Islamic city soon. He added that if Europe fails to close its borders and remove criminals, it will come to an end.
