Le Pen, an outspoken supporter of Trump, is hoping to have face to face talks with the Republican presidential candidate. While Le Pen is strong on the home front, she wants to build up international support from powerful figures including Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. “We want to do this trip after the election of Trump, during the period when he is president elect,” a close aide of Le Pen told Le Parisien. Although whether meeting with the likes of Donald Trump will win her votes back home remains to be seen.
