US President Donald Trump stated on Sunday that France is "burning" and claimed the nation has been "shattered" by immigration. Trump blamed migration for unrest and urged the country to tighten its rules governing immigration.
The remarks follow widespread damage during protests in France that resulted in a historic town hall being torched and approximately 1,800 arrests. The unrest has increased pressure on French President Emmanuel Macron just six months ahead of the upcoming elections to replace him.
