TL;DR Summary

French President Emmanuel Macron has postponed his state visit to Germany in order to address the violent riots that have engulfed France following the killing of a 17-year-old by a police officer. The protests, which began in the Paris suburb of Nanterre, have spread to other cities, resulting in the arrest of up to 1,300 rioters. Macron and German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier have agreed to reschedule the visit at a later date, which was originally intended to strengthen Franco-German relations and discuss various issues.
