Le Pen Plans EU Budget Tussle, Questions Ukraine Funding
French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has indicated a readiness for conflict with the European Commission over the EU budget, stating her intention to cap France's net contribution at €5 billion annually and strip powers from the bloc. She asserted that supporting France does not equate to opposing Europe. Le Pen also cast doubt on future EU funding for Ukraine and described the push for an EU budget agreement by year's end as 'deeply objectionable.'
