President Hollande urges EU leaders to unite against Trump
‘French President Francois Hollande has urged European leaders to form a united front against US President Donald Trump’s stance and remarks that are allegedly aimed at destroying the integrity of the European Union by advocating other nations to follow Brexit.
The French leader made the remarks on the sidelines of a half-day informal summit with six other EU leaders in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, on Saturday, adding that the EU member states should stick to their principles and defend their interests.
