Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told a pool reporter that Le Pen "is not meeting with anyone from our team."

Still, Le Pen’s presence at Trump Tower grabbed attention. It comes roughly three months before France's presidential election, a contest that the far-right figure leads in new polling

Le Pen has lavished praise on Trump, saying during a November press conference his victory is a “ sign of hope ” that "shows that people are taking their future back.”

Trump and his team have taken an interest in far-right, populist leaders in Europe. Nigel Farage, the former leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party and a key figure in the "Brexit" movement, last met with Trump in December.
