Institute of Public Affairs Chief Economist Adam Creighton says US President Donald Trump is “largely right” about France’s student protests being about mass immigration as well.

“I think Trump’s largely right; that’s a huge factor in these riots, I would say,” Mr Creighton told News24 Digital Presenter Gabriella Power.

“Just as mass immigration is a huge issue in the UK, in Spain, in Australia and the United States.

“I think it's extremely concerning.”
