Trump Claims Paris Will Become Muslim City as France Faces Riots
US President Donald Trump criticized French President Emmanuel Macron over unrest in France, claiming Paris will soon be a Muslim city and blaming immigration for the violence. Trump said Macron should have closed borders earlier. French authorities arrested at least 2,400 people after riots damaged about 3,000 businesses. Paris imposed overnight curfews in two areas, including Place de la République, and banned demonstrations from 8pm. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu called it a miracle no one was killed. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez offered to resign but Macron rejected it, demanding transparency over intelligence failures. Far-right leader Jordan Bardella accused the government of failing to protect the public, urging voters to hold leadership accountable.
