Melissa Bell, CNN’s correspondent in Paris, highlights American interference in the French presidential election, notably through the Trumpist sphere.
In her book Under American Influence: Investigation into American Interference in France and Europe, published by First Editions, she details how this influence operates via social media, think tanks, as well as financial and political support.
While Russian interference in Europe is often discussed, Melissa Bell emphasizes that Trumpist circles also seek to influence French voters’ decisions.
