A high-profile gathering of conservatives in Washington on Thursday will host Marion Marechal-Le Pen,
a former French far-right lawmaker and niece of the National Front's losing 2017 presidential candidate.
Marechal-Le Pen will be the second headliner to appear on the first full day of speeches
at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, addressing the event shortly after Vice President Mike Pence.
President Donald Trump is due to speak at the convention on Friday. Other senior members of his administration
are also scheduled to appear, along with Republican lawmakers, conservative media figures and veterans.
Brexit champion Nigel Farage will also be there, after receiving a warm welcome at CPAC last year,
when he praised Trump's "quite remarkable" victory.
