For nation's birthday, Trump slams the enemy within

13 Sept 14:30 Key points summarised by AI

President Trump used his Fourth of July speech to attack "enemies within"—leftists, looters, and agitators—vowing to safeguard American values and history from those he claimed were disrespecting the country's past.
The speech, delivered amidst rising COVID-19 cases and pleas for social distancing, was marked by political grievances and combativeness, avoiding any mention of the pandemic's death toll.
Trump reinforced his stance against the removal of statues and historical revisionism, accusing protesters of a "merciless campaign to wipe out our history," a theme also prominent in his Mount Rushmore address.
Despite public health warnings, Trump encouraged large gatherings, though attendance on the National Mall was noticeably thinner, and many attendees chose to wear masks, contrasting with the closer seating at his official event.

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.
