US President Donald Trump has launched a fresh attack on French President Emmanuel Macron, blaming France’s immigration policies for the challenges facing the country. Trump claimed that France had allowed too many people to enter its territory and warned that Paris could soon become a “Muslim city”.
Trump accused Macron of ignoring his advice on controlling immigration and protecting the country’s borders. He argued that France’s approach was different from the strict border policies adopted by his administration in the United States.
“Paris is going to be a Muslim city very soon, and that wasn’t the deal,” Trump told reporters.
