Trump says Macron ignored his border warnings as France unrest grows

firstpost.com —

US President Donald Trump attacked French President Emmanuel Macron's immigration policies, claiming Paris could soon become a "Muslim city" and accusing Macron of ignoring his warnings about border control. Trump said he had advised Macron to close France's borders for nearly a decade, contrasting his own restrictive US approach with France's more open policies. His remarks come amid widespread French unrest, with over 2,400 detained and nearly 1,000 officers injured in violent clashes. French authorities are restoring order as Macron condemns the violence, though he has avoided declaring a state of emergency. Analysts note the unrest also stems from economic hardship and social grievances, not solely immigration.
