US President Donald Trump mocked France's ongoing protests and violence, joking that the country seems "so damn good for revolutions" during remarks on Saturday. Around 550,000 people protested across France on Saturday against rising living costs, according to the interior ministry, with at least 1,200 arrests reported. The demonstrations included the Yellow Vests movement, which began in 2018 over fuel-tax hikes. Violent clashes led to looting of Apple, Louis Vuitton, and Hermès stores in cities like Paris and Bordeaux. Vice President JD Vance separately blamed Western liberals for mass immigration, warning Americans to pay attention to the unrest.
