'Paris To Become Muslim City Very Soon': Trump Slams Macron Over Riots, Calls For Border Closure

Trump said France’s unrest stems from immigration and urged Macron to close the borders as protests, looting and clashes with police spread.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump urged French President Emmanuel Macron to close France's borders, linking recent unrest in French cities to immigration rather than domestic issues.
  • While Trump blamed migration, demonstrations in Paris and other cities centered on public anger over rising living costs, poor school conditions, and government policies.
  • France's Interior Ministry reported nearly 2,400 people arrested and nearly 1,000 police officers injured during the violence; one protester died on Saturday after suffering cardiac arrest.
  • French authorities deployed additional police and restricted gatherings in Paris, implementing curfews around Place de la Republique and Les Halles as Macron condemned the destruction in a televised speech.
  • The 80-year-old Republican reiterated claims that Paris could soon become a "Muslim city," stating he had warned Macron years ago that France was "making a big mistake" on immigration.
