Macron Slams Trump’s ‘Stupid’ Migrant Blame Game
French President Emmanuel Macron has accused foreign leaders, including Donald Trump, of spreading false claims that migrants caused recent riots in France. He called these accusations “stupid” and said they were made to gain political advantage. Macron stated that some foreign politicians are using France’s unrest to push their own agendas and are spreading misinformation online. He did not name specific leaders in his remarks, but his comments followed public statements from Trump and others linking the violence to immigration. The French president urged the public to reject simplified explanations for the riots and stressed the importance of facts over political point-scoring.
