Emmanuel Macron described Donald Trump’s remarks about the violence in France as “stupid” and “unacceptable”, rejecting the idea that it was caused by immigration and Islam. The French president was speaking in Qatar, according to Zambianobserver.
Macron also said he did not see direct foreign interference in the events, but that information manipulation had fuelled comments he considered unacceptable. Asked whether Donald Trump, the president of the United States, was among those being targeted, he replied: “Among others, but he is one of them”, according to Zambianobserver.
The US president had previously attributed the unrest to immigration and called on France to close its borders, going so far as to predict that Paris would soon become a “Muslim city”. These statements followed French criticism of the cost-of-living crisis and rising fuel prices linked to the war in Iran, according to Zambianobserver.
