  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has blamed immigration for the violent unrest engulfing French cities, accusing immigrants from diverse cultural backgrounds of contributing to the country's decline. The unrest escalated into widespread violence across several major French cities, with government buildings set ablaze, stores looted, and protesters clashing with police. French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu condemned the destruction and vowed to crack down on rioters, warning against attempts to exploit the unrest for political purposes ahead of next year's presidential election.",
