U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he had previously warned his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, that immigration policies could lead his country to devastating consequences.
In an interview on the “New York Post” podcast, he added: “He is a good man and a friend of mine, but I told him clearly: You are destroying your country because of immigration.”
The U.S. president further noted that France is welcoming immigrants from all over the world, emphasizing that some of these newcomers harbor hatred toward the country, its people, and its cultural heritage.
Trump pointed out that this phenomenon is not limited to France but extends to other European countries as well, while stressing that such events will not be allowed to recur in the United States, as his administration will not permit any similar developments on American soil.
These remarks coincide with ongoing waves of protests in France, which began in mid-September when high school students took to the streets of Parisian suburbs demanding improvements in educational institutions. They were later joined by protesters angry at rising prices, causing the demonstrations to spread to other parts of the country.
The unrest peaked on October 17 with a massive national demonstration. According to data from the French Ministry of the Interior, around 550,000 people participated, while security forces resorted to using tear gas, sound bombs, and water cannons in an attempt to disperse the demonstrators.
