Why the MAGA movement has an interest in Europe

US President Donald Trump's administration has expressed concerns about the state of Europe, citing issues such as mass migration, restrictions on free speech, and the erosion of national sovereignty. The administration has backed like-minded parties and movements in Europe, with Vice President J. D. Vance campaigning for Viktor Orbán in Hungary.

The State Department has provided millions of dollars in grants to groups in Europe that aim to "combat censorship and establish ties between the US and the Continent". The administration's views on Europe are shaped by a new generation of conservative thinkers and groups, including the Heritage Foundation and the America First Policy Institute.
