While President Emmanuel Macron was one of the first world leaders to congratulate Donald Trump on his election victory, France remains wary of the United States president-elect, given his rhetoric against Europe, his plan to impose import tariffs and his stance on the war in Ukraine. Even though some European far-right leaders celebrated his win, France's National Rally (RN) leader Marine Le Pen remains sceptical.
A recent poll shows that 62 percent of French people are "concerned" by Trump's win, and eight out of 10 have a negative image of him.
