Overview
- In the interview, Trump called European migration policy “a catastrophe,” urged mass expulsions, and warned some countries may no longer be “viable” if current trends continue.
- He questioned whether Europe would remain a dependable U.S. ally under those policies, praising Hungary and Poland while castigating leaders in Germany, France, Sweden, Paris and London.
- Trump said Volodymyr Zelenskyy is “losing” the war and should accept Washington’s plan, while European leaders view the proposal as tilted toward Moscow and wartime elections in Ukraine are not allowed.
- The White House strategy released Friday warns of a “civilizational” threat from migration and commits to supporting “resistance” within EU states, including right‑leaning parties.
- Parallel to the rhetoric, AfD figures led by Markus Frohnmaier are deepening ties with Trump‑aligned Republicans in Washington and New York, drawing praise from the Young Republican Club and sharp criticism from German politicians.
