Trump signs ‘strong’ executive order to protect monuments

14 Sept 02:13 Key points summarised by AI

President Trump signed an executive order to protect monuments, memorials, and statues across the U.S., calling it 'strong'.
The order mandates that the attorney general prosecute individuals who destroy or vandalize federal property to the fullest extent of the law, with penalties up to 10 years in prison.
It also threatens state and local law enforcement agencies with the loss of federal funding if they fail to protect monuments.
This action follows recent incidents where protesters attempted to pull down or successfully toppled statues, prompting Trump to emphasize 'LAW & ORDER' and severe penalties for such acts.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
