Macron disputes foreign-interference claims
Speaking during a visit to Qatar, Macron said there was no evidence that foreign actors had intervened to incite the unrest. He said foreign manipulation of information appeared afterward and accused political figures, including Trump, of amplifying misleading narratives.
