Trump, from ally to liability: European ultras drift away from their former partner after the electoral debacle
EU far-right parties go from cheering on the US president to decoupling their fate on the eve of a super-election year.
The recent US midterm elections have widened the gap between Donald Trump and the extreme right. Trump's influence has waned, even among his own supporters, as evidenced by significant losses in conservative strongholds such as Texas, Kansas, and Mississippi.

The explicit support of leaders like Viktor Orbán and Aleksandar Vucic has ultimately hurt rather than helped.
