Trump and Vance blame immigration for France riots
US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance blamed immigration for unrest in France on Sunday.

President urges border closure
Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that France is burning due to the arrival of people from a different world. He stated that these individuals have shattered the country and urged French authorities to close their borders immediately. The President claimed that immigrants with hatred in their hearts are responsible for the violence seen across cities.
Vice President links assimilation issues
JD Vance shared a video of a burning city hall while posting on X about the unrest. He argued that Western liberals imported populations into France under the name of diversity without addressing assimilation questions. Vance suggested that ignoring compatibility between cultures led to the current situation where landmarks are being destroyed.
Protests cause widespread damage
The unrest began at high schools in Paris suburbs before spreading to other locations. Recent events left a historic town hall torched and resulted in 1,800 arrests over the weekend. These protests have put pressure on President Emmanuel Macron six months before upcoming elections.
