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