Trump, from ally to burden: European ultras distance themselves from their former partner after the debacle at the polls
European far-right parties are distancing themselves from Donald Trump following his electoral setbacks, viewing him as a liability rather than an asset. The recent Republican losses have led to a reevaluation of their relationship with Trump, who is criticized for his declining political influence and controversial policies. Leaders like Giorgia Meloni and Marine Le Pen express concerns over Trump's foreign interventions, particularly in Iran, which they believe negatively impact their political fortunes. The shift reflects a broader trend among European ultra-nationalists to separate their agendas from Trump's, as they prepare for upcoming elections without relying on his support.
