French President Emmanuel Macron has criticized foreign leaders, including Donald Trump, for exploiting street unrest in France for their own political gain. Speaking in Doha, Qatar, on Wednesday, Macron railed against those making false claims about the country's situation.
Macron accused foreign leaders of the manipulation of information, stating that such actions led to comments that are as unacceptable as they are stupid. He further suggested that recent riots are being used abroad for political purposes and accused some foreign leaders of disliking France.
These remarks follow riots that occurred across the country over the weekend. France is now preparing for further protests scheduled for this coming weekend.
