Right-leaning outlets report that President Donald Trump warned France is sliding into lawlessness amid riots. They say he blamed the unrestricted entry of illegal migrants through porous borders and urged the country to tighten its migration rules. An alternative/independent outlet, France 24, agrees on the core points: Trump spoke on Sunday, blamed immigration for unrest during protests in France, and called on the country to tighten its migration rules. It adds that he described France as burning and as shattered by immigration. The available articles give no locations, figures or details of the unrest itself.
