Financial cuts at the top of Donald Trump's political agenda and his decision to spearhead
00:04
a plan to end the war in Ukraine, party leader Raphael Glucksmann took aim at supporters
00:10
of the US president in the French political sphere.
00:16
Let's make sure we never, ever let the Trump and Musk fan club into our country.
00:25
Give us back the Statue of Liberty.
00:30
We gave it to you as a gift, but apparently you despise it.
00:37
Glucksmann's words echo those of Claude Maluret, a French senator whose speech in parliament
00:41
in March strongly criticised Trump's decision to distance himself from his long-term allies.
00:47
In reference to Trump's decision to open the conversation with Vladimir Putin, Maluret
00:52
said that the war in Ukraine is being fought against a dictator, now supported by a traitor.
00:57
Never in history has a US president given in to the enemy.
01:03
Never has any president supported an aggressor against an ally.
01:06
The message Trump is sending us is that there is no point in being his ally because he won't
01:10
defend you.
01:12
He will impose more tariffs on you than on his enemies, and he will threaten to seize
01:15
your territories while supporting the dictators who invade you.
01:20
One study published last month found that 59% of French people would describe Donald
01:24
Trump as a dictator.
01:26
Another found that 73% no longer consider the United States to be an ally.
