Jean-Luc Mélenchon will run for the French presidency in 2027, emphasizing unity against war and social crises.
As part of that influence, Kevin Roberts -- president of the powerful Heritage Foundation and a key influence on Trump's policy decisions -- earlier this year visited Paris to speak to what he called "leaders of the French right", whom he declined to name.
