President Donald Trump has a ten-year warning for French leaders. He says they are losing their country because of immigration. This is not a new opinion.
Trump has held this view since his first campaign. He believes the current chaos in France proves him right. Violent protests have swept through the streets of Paris.
They have spread to Rome and Albania. Government buildings have been set on fire. The unrest shows no signs of stopping.
Trump told Fox News Digital that the issue is clear. He said it is not a school problem. It is an immigration problem.
He has been saying this for a long time. He even shared this warning with President Emmanuel Macron. Trump said he likes Macron a lot.
But he warned him plainly. He told Macron he would lose his country if he did not act. Trump believes people in France hate the country itself.
He said they hate the buildings and the art. They hate the people who live there. Trump said you have to get them out.
He spoke with U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner about this. They discussed the immigration problems in France. Trump thinks these problems caused the protests.
He called the situation in Europe very sad. He said something has to happen soon. He believes his own policies kept the U.S. safe.
He credited his border actions for preventing similar riots. France is now taking a hard line. Macron blamed ultra-left groups for the violence.
He said their aim is to bring down the Republic. He promised to ban groups with no legitimate authority. He also said looters will have to pay for damages.
Police officers were deployed across France. A Fox News investigation found far-left groups involved. They identified Antifa groups among the protesters, along with communist and socialist networks.
Macron accused other leaders of making stupid comments. He said they were lying for political gain. He did not name Trump or Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Both nations are in the middle of elections. The violence in Europe is a stark contrast to the U.S. Trump says the difference is clear. It comes down to border control.
He has warned about this for a decade. The protests in France are a real time example. They show what happens when borders are open.
Trump says the lesson is simple for Americans. Secure the border or face the same chaos. The money trail here is political survival.
Leaders ignore the roots of unrest at their peril. Trump says he was right again. The facts on the ground support his claim.
The streets are burning in Europe. The warning was given ten years ago. It stands today.
