04:01Pierre de Gaulle - grandson of legendary former French president Charles de Gaulle - said that Donald Trump had "demonstrated both the narrow-mindedness of his policy" and a "perverse and almost indecent approach based on sowing chaos", during an interview in Moscow on Wednesday.
De Gaulle is the vice chair of the jury for the Leo Tolstoy International Peace Prize.
"I believe President Trump has demonstrated both the narrow-mindedness of his policy and, I would say, a perverse and almost indecent approach based on sowing chaos, wars, suffering, and crises. Unfortunately, I think that today Americans have become the greatest destroyers of democracy in Europe and around the world," he said.
De Gaulle also said that Trump was "seeking to spread chaos in Europe and across the world in order to better manage and control it".
"We should remember that the United States is searching for the leadership it has lost - the leadership it had in 1945, when it accounted for more than half of global industrial production and was not in debt," he continued.
De Gaulle also stressed that Russia, China and India were playing a 'major role' in strengthening a multipolar world and expressed hope that European countries would join BRICS.
"We are moving toward a new model - a strengthening of a multipolar world, in which Russia plays a major role alongside powers such as China and India, which also seek alternative systems, including trade in national currencies. This is about a reorganisation of the global order - something the United States resists, but which is an imposed reality that cannot be ignored. I would like France to join BRICS, along with Germany and Italy and other major countries, because this represents an opportunity for them," he said. He added that current crises could serve as "opportunities to build a new world order."
