In France, the far right was quick in congratulating Donald Trump for his increasingly likely victory.
National Front leader Marine Le Pen, a presidential contender in next year’s French elections, tweeted shortly after 7 a.m. local time: « Congratulations to the new president of the United States Donald Trump and to the American people, free! »
Her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who founded the anti-Islam, anti-European party, also tweeted that « the Americans want from @realDonaldTrump to be their « president of the people ». Today the U.S., tomorrow France. Bravo! »
