French Front National leader Marine Le Pen is in New York on an unannounced visit as France’s presidential election approaches. Ms Le Pen, who is currently leading in the polls, is visiting the city in a private capacity, according to her campaign chief David Rachline.
Bloomberg quotes an unnamed aide to Donald Trump as saying the President-Elect has no plans to meet with Ms Le Pen.
Mr Rachline also confirmed: “It’s not on her public agenda. We don’t communicate about private visits.”

I noticed last week...some polling in France. Le Pen is two points minimum ahead of Fillon. Guaranteed to be her and Fillon for the primary winners, and face each other in the final election.
She will oddly take a lot of government employee votes (normally would be voting for the liberal party) because Fillon swears he’ll terminate half-a-million French government employees. So, it’s turning into an amusing election where the union gov’t folks will vote for Le Pen.
I noticed last week....she wants an election deal later to decide about returning to the French Fran. That will stir up some German comments and probably draw some more French votes as well.
DJT, please, please please let her borrow some security!!
Vive Donald and Marine!

“I’ll bet she’s already met with Trump after entering through the private entrance at Trump Towers...”
Darn...I had not thought of that. And I’d already made popcorn so I could sit all afternoon and watch the elevator cam at Trump Tower.
You KNOW Le Pen is paying The Donald a visit.
The problem is the right will split, they need to find one candidate and unite behind them.
The NF is good on immigration and exiting the EU but what else? They are very socialist on the economic front.
I don't care what France does economically, right now there are bigger fish to fry.
“private visits”
MFGA!
Trump’s political success is of an entirely new type. Ms. Le Pen is wise to come learn what she can in time to deploy similar strategies to Make France Great Again!
France is on the verge of permanently submitting to islam.
That’s the BIG FISH.
Kill it.
Precisely. Save the culture first, then we can talk about economics.
Any chance she will come visit Houston?
This does not preclude him from making plans. It also does not preclude LePen from meeting with Ivanka or any other of Trump's trusted advisors.
She will likely meet with several of President Trump’s top team members. Wisely, I assume that she wants to be square in the middle of the rising nationalist (as opposed to internationalist) movements in Europe and the US.
This being said, it is next to impossible for them to communicate at a distance without both their governments and opposition monitoring the heck out of them, with the intention to undermine and hurt them both. I would not put it past either government to even try to waylay a courier carrying documents.
So it has to be done in person, if not face to face. This is because neither wants a meeting between them to be used as propaganda against them either. Again, smart move.
Melania as translator.
Is the elevator cam still going?
Maybe not. I looked for it and couldn’t find it.
It should’ve been called the VettingCam anyway.
The NF is good on immigration and exiting the EU but what else? They are very socialist on the economic front.
I think for France and all of Europe, Immigration has to be priority over everything else. They are in war and could die if they don’t do this right. Economics can be bad but this is life and death for all of Europe.
