Former French President François Hollande has issued a stark warning about the potential global repercussions of a Donald Trump victory in the 2024 presidential elections. In an interview with BFMTV, Hollande predicted a rise in tariffs and protectionism affecting Europe, alongside economic challenges such as increased unemployment and inflation in the U.S. He foresees that a Trump administration could embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Ukraine conflict, posing threats to geopolitical stability, including more extensive actions in Eastern Europe. Hollande also cautioned against possible U.S.-China tensions under Trump.
