Hollande: Trump Administration Is 'Encouraging Extremism'


THE GUARDIAN: French president calls on European countries to stand ‘stand together’ at meeting of leaders in Lisbon

French president François Hollande has said that the Trump administration was encouraging “populism and even extremism“, as he and fellow southern European leaders urged unity to face an increasingly uncertain world.
