Far-right leader says Trump win ‘good news for France’

AFP, PARIS: French far-right leader Marine Le Pen on Wednesday said Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election was “good news” for France.
“I dare to repeat that the election of Donald Trump is good news for our country,” said Le Pen, who will be the anti-immigration National Front’s candidate in France’s 2017 presidential election.
Le Pen, 48, was one of the first French politicians to react to Trump’s stunning victory, tweeting her congratulations to the Republican president-elect “and to the free American people”.
In her brief remarks later, she said a Trump White House would assure that the sweeping Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the US and EU would be rejected.
“More generally, wild globalisation” would be tamed, and she predicted that international relations would improve, “notably with Russia”.
