France should follow U.S. President Donald Trump's lead and fight for "France first", Marion Marechal-Le Pen, seen as a potential leader of France's far right, told U.S conservatives on Thursday in her first public appearance in months.
The 28-year-old former lawmaker, granddaughter of National Front founder Jean-Marie Le Pen and niece of party leader Marine Le Pen, temporarily withdrew from politics after her aunt's presidential election defeat last May.
But she has long been viewed in France as a possible future leader of the National Front, and the fact that she was a keynote speaker at a conference that both Trump and U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence were addressing was widely commented on in French media as posing a challenge for Marine Le Pen.
"I'm not offended when I hear President Donald Trump say 'America first'. In fact, I want America first for the American people, I want Britain first for the British people and I want France first for the French people," she said.
"I came here today to tell you there is a youth ready for this fight in Europe today," she told thousands of activists at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland.
