European Far-Right Distances Itself From Trump After Republican Defeat

delfi.ee (Madurese) —

European far-right politicians are distancing themselves from President Donald Trump following the Republican Party's defeat in the U.S. midterm elections, while avoiding direct criticism of Trump. Many European far-right figures had celebrated ideological ties with Trump after his 2024 victory, with some visiting Washington and receiving support from Trump ally Elon Musk. French leader Jordan Bardella noted Trump sought to avoid major conflicts in his first term, while Germany's Alice Weidel said Trump's broken promise on non-interventionist foreign policy cost Republicans, citing the Iran war. Italian Matteo Salvini attributed the results to wars, tensions, and living costs, hoping the vote accelerates peace. Analyst Mujtaba Rahman said the distancing is politically motivated, but risks Trump's MAGA allies withdrawing support from European partners.
