Trump joins criticism of Clooney's French passport
""Good News! George and Amal Clooney, two of the worst political prognosticators of all time, have officially become citizens of France which is, sadly, in the midst of a major crime problem because of their absolutely horrendous handling of immigration,""
""Personally, I understand the feeling of some French people of a double standard," Marie-Pierre Vedrenne, a junior interior minister, told the France Info radio station."
""We need to be careful about the message we're sending.""
""French nationality may be conferred by naturalization, upon the proposal of the minister of foreign affairs, to any French-speaking foreigner who applies for it and who contributes through their distinguished service to France's influence and the prosperity of its international economic relation""
George Clooney, his wife Amal and their two children were granted French citizenship via an official decree. Donald Trump publicly criticised the decision on his Truth Social network, linking the move to immigration handling and crime concerns. A junior French interior minister, Marie-Pierre Vedrenne, said some French people sense a double standard and warned about the message being sent. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez and the foreign ministry defended the naturalization. The civil code allows naturalization for French-speaking foreigners who contribute through distinguished service to France's influence and international economic prosperity. New language requirements will be tightened for others from January 1.
