Ask what Korea is talking about.

French President Emmanuel Macron has pushed back against foreign criticism of the weekend riots in France, calling comments from some leaders "stupid" and "unacceptable" as he vowed to prevent a repeat of the violence at upcoming protests. This comes as U.S. President Donald Trump and Republicans have sought to leverage the unrest by making unsubstantiated claims blaming France's immigrants, ahead of U.S. midterm elections. Korean media report Macron's rebuke without endorsing either side, framing it as a transatlantic clash over the riots' causes and political exploitation.
