US President Trump answered questions from members of the press as he left the White House to attend his election rally in Kansas.
Evaluating the events in France, Trump argued that they were entirely about "immigrants", not student movements.
US President Trump said, "The problem is immigration and I told President Macron, 'Close your borders.' I said. The situation in France is truly very sad. "What's happening in France is about immigration, not about schools or anything else." he said.
Arguing that France did not close its borders and that immigrants came from many parts of the world, Trump said, "When I first met Macron, he said, 'Close your borders or you will destroy your country.' I said. We closed our borders, they did not. Now they have destroyed their country. "It is very difficult for France to return to its former state." he commented.
"Paris will be a Muslim city very soon"
Arguing that there are too many immigrants in Paris, Trump said, "Paris will become a Muslim city very soon." he said.
Claiming that immigrants in France are not compatible with the country's values, the US President stated that the Macron administration should listen to him regarding border security.
Yellow vests, supported by students, organized demonstrations across the country on October 17 against the high cost of living and high fuel prices.
Approximately 2,400 people were detained and approximately a thousand police officers, gendarmerie soldiers and firefighters were injured in the demonstrations across the country.
During the demonstrations, at least 1,500 shops were looted and clashes broke out between demonstrators and police in major cities.
Trump's message to Zelenskiy that "it is time to hand over negotiations with Russia"
US President Donald Trump argued that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was not willing to make a deal with Moscow and said, "Maybe it's time for Zelenskiy to hand over the negotiations to someone else." he said.
While US President Trump was leaving the White House for his election rally in Kansas, he evaluated the agenda with members of the press.
Stating that he very much wants the Russia-Ukraine war to end and that they are currently negotiating with Moscow for this purpose, Trump emphasized that he has a good dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin in this process.
Trump argued that Russia was more willing to make a deal and Ukraine was more reluctant, saying, "Maybe it's time for Zelensky to hand over the negotiations to someone else." made his assessment.
When reminded that Zelenskiy was disturbed by the diesel agreement he made with Russia and said that "Trump is standing on the wrong side of history", the US President used the following statements:
"Zelenskiy does not know what he is talking about. He should have resolved this war long ago. If he had listened to me, he would have made a good deal a long time ago and 1 million people would still be alive in his country."
"Putin does not touch Iran and this is a good thing"
Trump stated that they were actively negotiating with Putin regarding Ukraine and that he did not want to disrupt the negotiations by going into details.
Emphasizing that they are in a good dialogue process with the Russian President regarding Iran, Trump said, "Putin does not touch Iran, and this is a good thing, because we attack Iran very hard, economically and militarily." made his assessment.
Stating that China acted "reasonably" regarding both Iran and Ukraine, Trump said, "Russia could have done much more to help Iran, but it did very little. China could also have done much more for Iran. I see this as a very positive development." he said.
Trump stated that he is open to a trilateral meeting with Russian President Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping in China, where he will visit in November.
In response to a question, the US President said, "If Putin and Xi want to meet in a tripartite meeting, I would like to do this in China." made his assessment.
Trump noted that he did not know who caused the interruption of the internet service that Starlink provided to the Ukrainian army, but he wanted to find the person responsible.
