tf1info.fr (French) —

Donald Trump claimed "France is on fire" following urban violence during October 17 protests, attributing the unrest to immigration and urging border closures. The American president said on Truth Social that immigration from "a totally different world" driven by "hatred" destroyed a "once great country." Vice President JD Vance echoed this, accusing Western progressives of importing "the third world" into France. Trump previously linked Islam and mass immigration to French student movements on October 6. Vance also criticized neglected assimilation issues and prayed France would end "this madness" before more monuments burn.
