Trump links France violence to immigration, urges border closures

US President Donald Trump linked violence in France to its immigration policy and called for immediate border closures, claiming he had warned President Emmanuel Macron about his approach. Trump said migrants had "taken control" of France and that Paris would soon become a "Muslim city." The remarks follow a weekend of unrest during cost-of-living protests, with nearly 1,000 police officers injured and over 2,330 people detained, according to French officials. Buildings including Limoges' historic city hall were set ablaze, prompting Macron to blame "insurrectional elements" from far-left groups and criminals. France's protests began last month over school funding and teacher shortages before expanding to national strikes against inflation. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has ordered prefects to impose localized curfews to prevent further riots and looting.
