US President Donald Trump launched a sharp attack on French President Emmanuel Macron, stressing that he warned him years ago about the repercussions of immigration policies, and informed him of the necessity of closing the borders so that France would not lose control of its future.

Trump said, in a lengthy post on his official account on the “Truth Social” platform, that France is facing, as he described it, a serious deterioration due to uncontrolled immigration, accusing European politicians of allowing the entry of large numbers of immigrants without taking into account the repercussions of this on their societies.

He added: "As I told President Macron when I met him for the first time many years ago, close your borders or it will be the end of France."

The US President considered that France, which he described as a great country, was facing challenges that threatened its identity and culture, holding immigration policies responsible for what he described as the deterioration of conditions there.

Trump called on European countries to close their borders and tighten immigration procedures, demanding the deportation of people whom he described as not respecting the countries in which they reside.

He accused leftist politicians in Europe of adopting policies that allowed the entry of millions of immigrants, considering that these policies threaten Western values.

He spoke about acts of violence and fires in France, using these developments to warn of the repercussions of continuing the current European approach.

In a message to European allies, Trump said that the United States stands with Europe despite what he described as its weaknesses and loss of the right direction.

But he added: "If she doesn't find her way soon, we will have no choice but to leave."

Trump did not specify the nature of the steps that Washington might take, or whether he intended to reduce its security commitments to Europe.

In a related context, the US President renewed his criticism of NATO countries, accusing them of not providing assistance when Washington requested it during the war with Iran.

Trump said that the United States spent hundreds of billions of dollars to protect NATO countries, but did not receive the assistance they requested.

He explained in his post that the request for assistance regarding Iran did not stem from an actual military need, but rather, as he put it, came within the framework of testing the position of the allies.

He added: "When we asked for help regarding Iran, they were not there to help us," stressing that this situation would not be forgotten.

Trump linked his criticism of the situation in France to the US elections scheduled for November 3, 2026, warning that the policies adopted by his Democratic opponents may, in his opinion, lead the United States to similar problems.

He strongly attacked the Democratic Party, accusing it of adopting policies that threaten American cultural identity, and calling on voters to reject them in the upcoming elections.

Trump's statements come within the framework of escalating his rhetoric towards European allies regarding immigration and sharing defense burdens, amid disagreements regarding positions on the war with Iran.
