President Emmanuel Macron left early from an EU summit in Brussels on Friday to return to France, where three nights of unrest over the police shooting of a teenager have taken place.
Macron cancelled a media conference scheduled for the second and last day of the summit to go back to Paris. He made no comment to reporters as he left.
