Trump urges France to close borders after mass unrest

nv.ua (Ukrainian) —

US President Donald Trump linked mass unrest in France to immigration and urged the country to close its borders. He made the statement on his Truth Social platform. Trump claimed that immigration from people with "hatred in their hearts" destroyed France, calling for border closures and control. Vice President JD Vance separately blamed "Western liberals" for bringing the "third world" to France. The October 17 protests drew an estimated 550,000 to 800,000 participants, with about 1,200 arrests and 150 police injured. Demonstrations were sparked by living costs, fuel prices, and public services.
