De Gaulle and the US

From Mr Robert Low Sir: Jonathan Freedland must be easily surprised if he finds it 'curious' that 'the leading anti-American voice in Europe today is . the Gaullist President of France' (The Right turns against America', 21 April). An earlier Gaullist president was much more consistently anti-American. His name? General Charles de Gaulle.
