Trump Praises AfD Win in Saxony-Anhalt, Cites Migration Policy

t-online.de (German)

Donald Trump celebrated the AfD's election victory in Saxony-Anhalt, attributing it to Germany's migration policies, while German security agencies discuss protecting sensitive data from a potential AfD-led state government. The AfD won 43.8 percent of votes on Sunday, narrowly missing an absolute majority, while the ruling CDU fell to 17.2 percent. Trump called the party "on the rise" and referenced his "Make America Great Again" slogan, though with a typo. German security officials are preparing contingency plans, including restricted information sharing, amid concerns the AfD could leak data to Russia. Coalition talks remain uncertain as other parties refuse to cooperate with the right-wing party.
