yna.co.kr (Korean)

A pro-Trump former U.S. ambassador to Germany praised the far-right AfD party's landslide victory in a German state election as a "great win." Richard Grenell made the comments on social media on September 6. Grenell claimed the result marked "the beginning of a new era" and suggested German citizens are ready for change as state-funded media declines. He also mocked left-wing politicians, comparing the term "socialist" to its use by the Nazi party. The AfD won 43.8% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt, though it fell short of a majority. The result is seen as a significant signal of far-right gains in Europe, with Elon Musk and President Trump also reacting positively to the outcome.
