French PM Bayrou Slams Trump’s ‘Free Le Pen’ Call as Political Interference in National Affairs

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.

As tensions rise, Trump’s remarks have sparked diplomatic unease ahead of France’s 2027 presidential race and fueled debates over foreign influence in sovereign judicial decisions.

'Marine Le Pen Witch Hunt': Furious Trump Warns Emmanuel Macron Over Far-Right Leader's Arrest

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. #Trump #MarineLePen #FrancePolitics #FreeSpeech #Lawfare #LePenBan #EmmanuelMacron #2027Elections #ParisCourt #EuropeanUnion #RightWing #ConservativePolitics #PoliticalOppression #TrumpOnLePen #TruthSocial #EmbezzlementCase #MacronVsLePen #FrenchPolitics #WitchHunt #SpeechSuppression Also Read Trump Warns Iran: Strike A Nuclear Deal In Two Months Or Face Unprecedented Bombing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-iran-strike-a-nuclear-deal-in-two-months-or-face-unprecedented-bombing-4109797.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Visits Kennedy Center to Shape the Future of National Arts and Culture :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-visit-kennedy-center-arts-institution-011-4097567.html?ref=DMDesc Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney Engages with European Allies Amid Trump's Economic Threats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/canada-carney-meets-european-allies-trump-targets-sovereignty-economy-011-4097563.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

Trump’s Tax Cuts Roar Back: Senate GOP Smashes Through Filibuster | Budget Showdown on Capitol Hill

In a dramatic late-night session, Senate Republicans passed a budget blueprint that sets the stage for extending Donald Trump’s tax cuts — and they did it without a single Democratic vote. By bypassing the filibuster through budget reconciliation, the GOP now has a clear path to push through Trump’s economic, military, and border priorities. With $5 trillion in potential spending cuts and a looming debt ceiling crisis, this vote marks the beginning of a high-stakes budget war on Capitol Hill. Will this reshape America’s economic future — or ignite political chaos? #TrumpTaxCuts #SenateVote #BudgetBattle #USPolitics #GOPAgenda #TaxReform #FilibusterBypassed #DonaldTrump #GovernmentSpending #CongressUpdate #OneindiaNews #CapitolHill ~HT.318~PR.274~GR.125~ED.346~

Thousands marched in Rome to protest the EU’s proposed €800 billion military rearmament plan, led by Italy’s Five Star Movement and its leader, former PM Giuseppe Conte. Protesters condemned cuts to healthcare, education, and labor in favor of militarization. Conte declared the protest as the birth of an alternative Italy that rejects defense overspending.

US President Donald Trump has pledged unwavering commitment to his aggressive tariff strategy, calling it a chance to “get rich.” Despite a massive stock market crash and mounting global backlash, Trump insisted tariffs are essential to protect American jobs. China, Canada, and the EU have responded with retaliatory duties, sparking fears of a global trade war. The WTO warns of economic contraction, while the US Fed sees inflation risks rising. Still, Trump’s administration denies any harm to American businesses, claiming domestic growth will offset global tensions. #TrumpTariffs #TradeWar #USChinaTensions #GlobalMarkets #StockCrash #ImportDuties #AmericaFirst #WTO #TradePolicy #USPolitics #JeromePowell #EconomicNews #CanadaTariffs #EUResponse #GlobalRecession #TruthSocial #InflationFears #BusinessNews #TrumpEconomy #Protectionism ~HT.410~
