France's Le Pen Says Trump Trying to Be World Cop

French far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen says US President Donald Trump is trying to be the "world's policeman" with airstrikes on Syria and is suggesting that it could backfire.


Le Pen has expressed support for Syrian President Bashar Assad in the past, and said on France-2 television Friday that she was "surprised" by Trump's sudden move, AP reported.

Le Pen said that Trump indicated he would not make the US "the world's policeman, and that's exactly what he did yesterday."

She warned that past international interventions in Iraq and Libya have led to rising extremism.
