France protests: Trump blames immigration for unrest; 1,800 arrested, damage estimated at hundreds of millions of euros
Protests in France led to at least 1,800 arrests and damage estimated at hundreds of millions of euros. Former President Donald Trump attributed the unrest to immigration, while French authorities have not linked immigrants to the violence, citing radical far-left groups instead. The protests, which began in September, reflect widespread anger over rising living costs and public service decline.
