Trump Slams France’s Ban on Le Pen, Calls It ‘Lawfare’ to Silence Political Opposition | Details

Trump has come out strongly in defense of French far-right leader Marine Le Pen after a Paris court barred her from holding political office for five years.

Trump accused European leftists of using “lawfare” to silence opposition, calling the conviction a “witch hunt.” The court found Le Pen guilty of misusing EU funds, a charge she denies as politically motivated.

Trump warned the move was “bad for France” and an attack on free speech.

Le Pen can no longer challenge Macron in the 2027 French presidential elections.

In a revealing interview with The Atlantic, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he’s now “running the world” and is enjoying his second term far more than his first. He described his current leadership role as “fun,” despite calling it “serious stuff.” Trump also addressed past remarks about a potential third term, brushing them off as unlikely.

French PM Francois Bayrou has called out Donald Trump for interfering in France’s domestic affairs after the former US president urged Paris to “free” Marine Le Pen. Le Pen, convicted for misusing EU funds, was sentenced to four years in prison and banned from office. Trump labeled her a victim of political persecution. Bayrou warned of rising “illiberal” forces undermining democracy worldwide.

Russia BLASTS West for Refugee Crisis: ‘Double Standards’ and Callous Neglect of Dying Innocents

In a powerful statement at the UN, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative, Maria Zabolotskaya, condemned Western countries for their "double standards" in addressing the global refugee crisis. Highlighting the devastating impact of the Gaza conflict, she criticized the reluctance of Western nations to provide sufficient humanitarian aid to refugees, particularly those fleeing from war-torn regions like Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Zabolotskaya also pointed out the hypocrisy in Western countries voicing concern over Ukrainian refugees while ignoring the plight of those seeking asylum in Russia. She called out the EU's failure to provide adequate support to refugees, especially those crossing the Mediterranean, and the deadly consequences of this inaction. With lives at stake and no accountability, the international community must confront the moral and legal crisis unfolding before our eyes. #RefugeeCrisis #Gaza #DoubleStandards #UN #HumanitarianCrisis #RussiaUN #MariaZabolotskaya #WesternHypocrisy #Refugees #InternationalLaw #GlobalPolitics #MediterraneanCrisis #Syria #Afghanistan #UkraineRefugees #SaveTheRefugees ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.102~GR.124~

Trump To Exit Ukraine Peace Talks? EU’s SHOCKING Revelation Amid Ceasefire Failures | Ukraine War

European Union officials fear US President Donald Trump may abandon efforts to broker peace in Ukraine. Despite campaign promises to end the war quickly, Trump has seen no major breakthroughs in his second term’s first 100 days. EU insiders suggest Trump may be crafting an exit narrative, frustrated by slow talks and Russia’s unwillingness to meet demands. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned the US may withdraw from the peace process. Meanwhile, Russia claims it’s ready for talks without preconditions but criticizes Ukraine’s lack of initiative. #TrumpUkraine #UkraineConflict #EUConcern #RussiaUkraineWar #TrumpPeacePlan #MarcoRubio #PeaceTalks #USForeignPolicy #Kremlin #NATO #UkraineWar #TrumpExits #UkraineUpdate #RussiaTalks #WashingtonNews #EasternEurope #UkraineCrisis #TrumpTimeline #DiplomaticCrisis #Geopolitics Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.124~
