Trump also called for stricter immigration controls, arguing that countries should prevent the entry of individuals he believes pose a threat to their national interests. “You know what you do with those people? Never let them come into your country,” he said. His remarks highlight his hardline stance on immigration and border security. The claims reflect Trump’s assessment of France’s situation and should not be taken as an independently verified description of conditions across the country.
