Steve Bannon gives fascist-style salute at US Conservative Political Action Conference – video

The French far-right leader Jordan Bardella has cancelled a scheduled speech at the US Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland after Donald Trump's former aide Steve Bannon flashed an apparent fascist-style salute there hours before. The National Rally president cited Bannon's allusion to 'Nazi ideology' as the reason.

Bannon flashed the gesture after speaking on Thursday night directly after tech billionaire Elon Musk, who caused controversy in January after he gave a similar gesture at the US president's second inauguration
