After election in Saxony-Anhalt: Trump congratulates AfD - movement "on the upswing"
US President Trump repeatedly criticizes Germany for its handling of migrants. He seems to have the AfD on his side in this matter. He sent his congratulations for their latest success.
US President Donald Trump congratulated the AfD on their election win in Saxony-Anhalt, calling them a movement "on the upswing". He wrote on his platform Truth Social that the party had a "really big night" and that they were fed up with "absolutely terrible immigration rules". Trump ended his post with "MGGA!!!", an apparent nod to his "Make America Great Again" slogan.
The AfD has been said to have a better connection to Washington than ever before since Trump's inauguration in January 2025. Trump has previously criticized Germany's asylum and migration policies.
