France is burning through more than $1 billion in riot damage, and President Emmanuel Macron is leaving the country for the Gulf. More than 2,500 people have been arrested as violent protests spiral into nationwide unrest, with businesses destroyed, buildings set on fire, and curfews imposed in major cities. Macron heads to Kuwait for energy negotiations, arguing that rising fuel prices are part of what's fueling the chaos. But critics on both sides of the political aisle are questioning his leadership as France struggles to restore order.
