US President Donald Trump made a post on his social media account regarding the demonstrations in France. Stating that France is burning, Trump said, "The migration of people coming from a completely different world, carrying hatred in their hearts, has torn this once-great country apart. Close your borders and take back control before it is too late."

High school students and their supporters in France have been holding demonstrations for a month demanding better educational conditions. Meanwhile, the yellow vests movement, supported by different segments of society—particularly high school students, farmers, and climate activists—had organized protests against the cost of living at hundreds of different points yesterday. In many cities, especially the capital Paris, tension increased between police and demonstrators, and violent incidents occurred.
