Summary
Protests over rising living costs in France have escalated into riots and looting. President Donald Trump blamed Muslim migrants without evidence and urged tighter border controls. President Emmanuel Macron condemned the spread of AI-generated images and misinformation, accusing foreign political leaders of exploiting France’s unrest for political purposes and fueling anti-immigrant sentiment.

Meanwhile, Macron toured Gulf countries to address France’s energy crisis and rising fuel prices. He secured additional diesel supplies from the United Arab Emirates and other countries, with potential imports reaching 295,000 tonnes per month, equivalent to more than 10% of France’s monthly diesel consumption.
