French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian dismissed Donald Trump’s comments on the Yellow Vests protests in Paris, saying the U.S. president shouldn’t meddle in France’s affairs.
On Saturday, Trump sought to tie the violent protests across France triggered by higher fuel taxes with the Paris climate accord treaty he’s denounced. He said protesters were chanting his name in the streets, a claim Le Drian disputed.
