US President Donald Trump said today that the French people will not suffer terrorist attacks for much longer.
Trump assessed that the attack in which one policeman was killed and two others wounded yesterday in Paris will have a major impact on the presidential elections in France.
"Another terrorist attack in Paris. The French people will not put up with this kind of thing for much longer. It will have a big impact on the presidential election!" Trump wrote on Twitter.
Another terrorist attack in Paris. The people of France will not take much more of this. Will have a big effect on the presidential election!

In the French presidential elections, the leader of the extreme right, Marine Le Pen, is among the leading candidates.
Le Pen and Trump share many views, especially those on terrorism and immigration, so Trump's tweet can be interpreted as support for Le Pen before the first round of elections on Sunday.
Recently, France has often been the target of terrorist attacks, which is explained by its actions against the Islamic State in Syria.
