France's President Emmanuel Macron has criticised world leaders who he said were campaigning for upcoming elections "at France's expense" with "unacceptable and even stupid comments" about the country's riots last weekend.
In an apparent swipe at US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he stated "there are people who campaign at France's expense — leaders who are in campaign mode, whether here in the region or on the other side of the Atlantic," he commented.
