US President Donald Trump has pointed his finger directly at immigrants for the rising tensions and violent protests sweeping across France. Speaking about the law and order crisis Trump said that heavy immigration from different cultures has broken the peace in the European nation. He urged French leaders to act quickly shut down their open borders and strictly manage foreign entries before the overall situation gets out of hand.
The political statement comes as France deals with huge street demonstrations stone pelting and clashes between young protesters and local police officers. What started as public anger over government policies rising inflation and poor public services has now turned into violent riots in many big cities. Public property shops and transport services have faced major damage.
Trump posted his views on social media writing that France is burning because open border policies allowed people without proper cultural connection to enter the country. He noted that when governments ignore security and border rules public peace breaks down completely.
While Trump bold statements have won praise from his conservative followers many world experts and human rights groups have criticized his stance. They claim that blaming foreign migrants for deep economic and social issues is wrong and only increases hatred between communities. Meanwhile French authorities are working hard to control the violence on the streets.
