Trump blames France protests on 'out-of-control mass migration'

Former US President Donald Trump has linked the ongoing protests in France to what he described as out-of-control mass migration, rejecting claims that the crisis is rooted in school conditions and issuing strong criticism of French immigration policies.

In a post on Truth Social on Tuesday, Trump said: "What is happening in France is nothing but out-of-control mass migration. It is not about schools, it is about Islam wanting to take over a once great country."

Trump's comments come as France faces protests led by high school students, joined by teachers, who are objecting to the crisis in the education sector and deteriorating conditions in schools.

The protests coincide with the French government's efforts to cut public spending, raising concerns about insufficient funding for education reform.
