President Donald Trump blamed immigration for violence during protests in France and urged the country to close its borders and tighten migration rules. The demonstrations were driven by grievances over the cost of living and public services; although many marches began peacefully, some escalated into clashes, looting and arson. French authorities reported about 1,800 arrests and hundreds of injured police officers and emergency personnel after the protests.
