The verdict that could shake up French politics
France's National Rally leader Marine Le Pen faces a potential five-year ban on public office in a Paris appeals court ruling that could prevent her from running in 2027. If upheld, Jordan Bardella, her 30-year-old protégé, would likely begin his campaign. NATO allies meet in Ankara to avoid conflict with U.S. President Donald Trump, while the EU's Entry/Exit System causes border issues.
