PARIS (AP) — French far-right leader Marine Le Pen said Monday that she could bring down France's minority government by the end of the year unless changes are made to the country's budget bill. Le Pen made her remarks after a meeting with conservative Prime Minister Michel Barnier over next year's budget and other issues. Barnier was to meet with other political leaders from the left and the center later in the day.
