Trump says NFL 'could've probably postponed' Paris game as France protests stretch police thin

President Donald Trump expressed skepticism about the NFL proceeding with its first-ever game in Paris due to ongoing civil unrest and protests that have strained police resources. Despite the NFL’s insistence on the game’s safety, the Steelers canceled a fan event, and Trump suggested the league could have postponed the match. The situation is compounded by a soccer game postponement and clashes between masked youth and officers, though protest organizers have agreed to keep their demonstration stationary.
