Former Trump administration adviser Steve Bannon told members of France’s far-right political party Saturday that “the tide of history is with us, and it will compel us to victory after victory after victory.”

Bannon — who was once President Trump’s chief political strategist — made the remarks at the anti-immigrant National Front congress in Lille.

Nationalism is “part of a worldwide movement that is bigger than France, bigger than Italy, bigger than Hungary, bigger than all of it.”

“It is not about left versus right,” Bannon said, quoting National Front standard-bearer Marine Le Pen, who was defeated in the French presidential race last year by Emmanuel Macron.

“She described it perfectly,” Bannon said. “Do you consider the nation state an obstacle to be overcome, or a jewel to be polished, loved and nurtured?”

“Our populist nationalist movement in the US is maybe 10 or 15 years old,” he said. “We are here to learn from you.”

Le Pen will speak to the gathering Sunday. She is expected to push to change the party’s name. A name change worked for by Italy’s anti-immigrant Northern League, which changed its name to “League” and finished strongly in elections last week.

Bannon, who referred to League leader Matteo Salvini as “Brother Salvini” during his speech, is touring Europe.

He gave a similar address Tuesday in Zurich, Switzerland, saying that the rise of populist parties was a positive development.

Ahead of his appearance in France, the leader of Macron’s Republic on the Move party called Bannon the “king of fake news and of white supremacists.”

Bannon, the former head of Breitbart News, told National Front members to stand proud in the face of such insults.

“Let them call you racists, let them call you xenophobes, let them call you nativists,” he proclaimed. “Wear it as a badge of honor, because every day we get stronger and they get weaker.”
