In two months' time the US will vote in midterm elections, and in just over six months' time France will vote in presidential elections. In Perspective, we spoke to geopolitical analyst, entrepreneur and international speaker Hind Ziane. She says the midterms will be a real test for US President Donald Trump, while in France it is the parties with clear presidential candidates in place that are currently dominating the opinion polls.
