"The populist party in Germany had a really triumphant day today," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. The American president also criticized Germany's immigration rules, calling them "absolutely terrible." According to him, it is the harsh criticism of the current immigration policy that helps AfD strengthen its position among voters. The party achieved victory in the eastern federal state of Saxony-Anhalt, which is a significant result for a political force opposing the current course of Germany's immigration policy. Trump has previously spoken positively about European right-wing parties and their demands to tighten immigration policy.
