French PM says France supports Clinton over Trump
OTTAWA- French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said Thursday that his country supports the election of Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
Valls said during a visit to Ottawa that he and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have discussed the U.S. election. Valls didn't share Trudeau's thoughts, but he was categorical about his pick in the Nov. 8 election: Clinton.
Valls, speaking in French, said U.S. President Barack Obama was "elected by the world" and "Trump is rejected by the world."
On the allegations of sexually predatory behavior swirling around the Republican nominee, a stone-faced Trudeau -- a self-avowed feminist -- would say only that he "has stood clearly and strongly all my life around issues of sexual harassment."
