France far-right leader cancels US speech after ex-Trump aide makes Nazi gesture

Jordan Bardella, France's far-right leader, cancelled his scheduled speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington. This decision was reportedly made in response to Steve Bannon, a former advisor to US President Donald Trump, making a gesture that was described as a Nazi salute. Bardella claimed he was not present in the room when the incident occurred, but stated that he was deeply troubled by Bannon's allusion to Nazi ideology.
