U.S. Vice President JD Vance has voiced his support to French far-right leader Marine Le Pen after she was found guilty of embezzlement and barred from running in France's 2027 presidential election, Reuters reports.
JD Vance has previously accused European nations of democratic abuses by seeking to block far-right parties from office.
Le Pen has accused France's judiciary of sparking a democratic crisis by barring her from the 2027 election.
Having previously said she backed lifetime ineligibility for politicians convicted of misappropriation of public funds, she has said in an interview with Le Parisien newspaper on Wednesday that the charges against her were different.
