It highlights the unprecedented level of violence and how political figures are leveraging the imagery to promote specific immigration and foreign policy agendas.
I just want to ask you about how people there in the States
are reacting to the images of the violent protests
in France this weekend that were seen all around the world.
Well, anecdotally, this is, of course, something
which is images that have spread like wildfire around the world.
Many friends from across the U.S. obviously asking me, somebody
who used to live in France, about the severity of these protests.
Indeed, it is to a level that even after living
in France for many years, the level of violence
that we saw over the weekend was certainly to a next level.
And we're also getting political reaction as well
from people like Donald Trump, for example.
Donald Trump posted about it numerous times
on Truth Social over the last 48 hours or so.
Just a short while ago, he posted the migrants have taken over France.
They must close the borders fast.
and then he posted earlier in the weekend saying France
is burning the immigration of people
from an entirely different world people with hatred
in their hearts has shattered that once
great country close your borders
and take control before it is too late of course Donald Trump then
using this as a kind of a way to to push forward
his views on immigration and foreign policy
we've seen other figures from the U.S.
do that people like Elon Musk with Germany for example
But the images that they've seen over the weekend are really
sparking new thoughts and ideas being pushed by the U.S. president.
