Donald Trump’s US election victory heralds the “building of a new world,” France’s far-right leader Marine Le Pen says Sunday in a BBC television interview.
Le Pen describes the Republican’s win as a “victory of the people against the elite” and says she hoped a similar outcome can be achieved in French presidential elections in May.

“Clearly, Donald Trump’s victory is an additional stone in the building of a new world, destined to replace the old one,” she tells the BBC.
Trump “made possible what had previously been presented as impossible,” she say, predicting that the “global revolution” that resulted in his election, as well as in the vote for Brexit, will also see her elected as president.
