Trump Praises Far-Right AfD's Historic Win in German Regional Elections

rts.ch (French)

Donald Trump praised the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party's victory in regional elections on Sunday, calling it "a very good night" for the "Populist Party" in a Tuesday post on Truth Social. Trump criticized Germany's immigration rules and used the acronym "MGGA," a likely adaptation of his "Make America Great Again" slogan. The AfD won nearly 44% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt, a major defeat for Chancellor Friedrich Merz's conservatives. The result marks the first time since 1945 that a far-right party is positioned to lead a German region. Trump's allies, including Elon Musk, also celebrated the AfD's success.
