France's far-right leader Jordan Bardella said Friday he had cancelled his speech at a right-wing meeting in Washington after a "gesture alluding to Nazi ideology" by conservative firebrand Steve Bannon. The president of France's National Rally party (RN), who is in the US capital, said he was not present when Bannon " one of the masterminds behind Trump's 2016 presidential campaign " made a gesture that has been described as a Nazi salute on Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
