Hollande says Trump win ‘opens period of uncertainty’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFrench President Francois Hollande, who once said Donald Trump made him want to retch, warns that the Republican billionaire’s victory in the US election “opens a period of uncertainty.”
In a televised address, Hollande underlines that the United States is a key partner for business, for solving wars in the Middle East and tackling global warming — something Trump dismissed as a hoax.
“This American election opens a period of uncertainty,” he says in a statement that offered only brief congratulations to the president-elect.
As well as France keeping up its global role, “this context calls for a united Europe, capable of making itself heard and of promoting policies wherever its interests or its values are challenged,” Hollande says.
