Trump reacts to Marine Le Pen's sentencing: It reminds me a lot of our
Donald Trump and Marine Le Pen

US President Donald Trump has reacted for the first time to the French Court's decision to convict the leader of the far-right in France, Marine Le Pen.

During a conference call with reporters from the Oval Office, Trump said that the court's decision to bar Le Pen from running in the election is very similar to the legal process taken against him in the US to bar him from running for president.

Question: Mr. President, Marine Le Pen, the leader of the far-right, was convicted by the court and is now banned from running for public office for five years. Do you have any comments?

Trump's response: This is a big deal. It's a very big deal. I know everything about her, and a lot of people thought she wouldn't be convicted. I don't know if that means a full conviction, but she's been banned from running for five years, and she's the front-runner. It reminds me of this country. It reminds me a lot of our country.

French far-right politician Marine Le Pen was found guilty of embezzling European Parliament funds over a 12-year period.

In a ruling that has shaken French and European politics, a court in Paris has said she cannot run for any public political position - meaning she appears to be out of the running for the presidential election, which is due to be held in the spring of 2027 at the latest.

She left the court hearing without comment. Although she can appeal the decision, each step could take years, it is likely that this will be the end of her political career.

Le Pen, who ran against incumbent President Emmanuel Macron in 2017 and 2022, was considered the favorite to become France's first female president.

In 2022, she won 41.5 percent of the vote in the second round, marking the best result for a far-right candidate in a French presidential race. With Macron barred from running for a third term, Le Pen was considered the most popular figure for the upcoming election, and early polls suggested she would beat other candidates from both the left and right.
