Hello everyone and welcome to Ammanpur. Here's what's coming up.

France's far-right leader Marine Le Pen found guilty of embezzlement and barred from running in the next presidential election,

how the ruling is upending French politics. And as a top vaccine official is forced out of the FDA,

is the U.S. at war with vaccines and what could be the global impact. I speak to Dr. Sanya

Nishtar, CEO of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. Also ahead, Wall Street sinks as the world

braces for the next phase of Trump's

trade war. What's next with geostrategist Tina Fordham. And under Trump, we've seen a much

more expansive use of tariffs that looks much more like economic warfare and less like a tool of

standard economic policy. Former State Department official Edward Fishman tells Michelle Martin how Trump's use of tariffs

is testing the limits of American power.

The Welcome to the program, everyone. I'm Biancago-Ladrigue in New York, sitting in for Christian Ammanpoor.

Guilty. French politician, Marine Le Pen, has been convicted of embezzling more than 4 million euros of European Union funds,

which now means she faces potentially years behind bars, 100,000 euro fine, and perhaps more crucially, an immediate ban from running for public office.

Now, this means the Fresnel presidential nominee will no longer be allowed to run in the next election in 2027.

If she is unable to successfully appeal her verdict, something she has vowed to do.

Now, it's a shockwave for French politics. Lepin has run for the presidency in every election since 2012,

with her support swelling in recent

years.

So what does this mean not just for France or Europe, but for the world?

Joining me now on this is veteran French reporter Terry Arnault and Natalie Tocci, a former foreign

policy advisor to the European Union.

Welcome both.
