Summary/Abstract: A Marine Le Pen victory in this month’s presidential election would bring a definite shift in French foreign policy. The vision of the National Rally (RN) candidate assumes revising European integration and the development of the European Union (EU) towards the idea of a Europe of nations and revision of EU treaties. Le Pen aims to reconstruct relations with the U.S. and NATO, limit cooperation with Germany, and seek closer ties with the UK and Russia. A Le Pen presidency could threaten European unity, undermine France’s allied credibility, and lead to its gradual isolation in the international arena.
