International nationalism: The MAGA movement is uniting Europe’s right-wing and pro-Russian forces against the EU The far-right Alternative for Germany spent €35,000 to hold an “Alliance of Sovereign Nations” conference in Washington, bringing right-wing figures from all over Europe together under the banner of Trump’s MAGA movement. The participants included not only European right-wing populists but also politicians who openly or indirectly endorse Kremlin narratives — and of course, several summit attendees maintain ties with both Washington and Moscow. Despite the Alliance leadership’s insistence that the event was solely about defending national sovereignty and the right to self-governance, the initiative resembles an attempt to create an international network of political movements seeking to weaken the European Union from within. As noted by researcher of right-wing populism Anton Shekhovtsov, such activity aligns perfectly with the new U.S. National Security Strategy published at the end of 2025. https://theins.ru/en/politics/290212
