#France Protests

Donald Trump urged the French authorities to close borders and take the situation under control, blaming migrants for the country's destruction. The statement came against the backdrop of protests that drew over 550,000 people on October 17.

In France, protests against rising prices have turned into the most massive unrest in decades: 110 marches, up to 2,000 detainees, arson of town halls, and store looting. Macron addressed the nation, with damages estimated in the hundreds of millions of euros.
