Macron Rejects Trump's Claims Over France Unrest

French President Emmanuel Macron has called for order and strongly rejected foreign criticism surrounding the recent wave of unrest across the country, The Jerusalem Post, ynet, and the BBC reported. Macron described the foreign commentary as "stupid" and accused foreign leaders, including US President Donald Trump, of exploiting events in France for election campaigns.

Macron dismissed claims by Trump, who attributed the turbulence to immigration and radical Islam, calling assertions that the country had been overrun by masses of immigrants and Islamists a "complete lie" partly fueled by artificial intelligence images. Meanwhile, French left-wing leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon also weighed in regarding external influences on the upcoming elections.

Further details regarding the extent of damage and additional measures to restore order have not yet been released.
