Macron rejects Trump’s claims blaming migrants for French riots

French President Emmanuel Macron condemned comments by "foreign leaders" on the violent protests in France on October 17. He has now arrived in Saudi Arabia as part of his Gulf tour.

What the coverage shows

The coverage largely converges on Macron rejecting outside claims about France’s unrest as “stupid” or misleading, with AP, BBC, the Guardian US, France 24, the New York Times and the South China Morning Post all framing it as a rebuke of Trump and other foreign leaders. AP is alone in explicitly mentioning “Muslim migrants,” while BBC and the South China Morning Post both broaden the criticism to include Netanyahu. France 24’s second item is the most pointed in saying Trump and his circle are using the unrest to push false immigration claims ahead of the midterms.
