"The Bundestag, Germany's lower house, will debate the country's partnership with the US, at the request of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. The party has filed several motions which call for Germany to "seize the opportunities" offered by the US administration's new security approach, as led by President Donald Trump, with one of the motions also saying Germany and the US should "push back" against "woke culture.""
"Members of the Trump administration have voiced support for the populist party on several occasions, including Vice President JD Vance. During the last federal election campaign, the AfD received backing from the United States. In a widely discussed speech at the Munich Security Conference, US Vice President Vance called for closer cooperation between German parties and the radical right-wing AfD."
