The article discusses the precarious position of far-right politicians in Europe, who are attempting to maintain ties with Donald Trump while facing backlash regarding his recent halt of military aid to Ukraine. Although politicians like Marine Le Pen have historically supported Trump, they are now confronted with domestic outrage over his controversial actions toward Ukraine. This balancing act involves refraining from overt criticism of Trump while voicing concern for Ukraine, showcasing the complex relationship between European far-right entities and the Trump administration amid shifting geopolitical dynamics.
After Trump's spat with Zelenskyy in the Oval Office last week, Le Pen called out the 'brutality' of the suspension of US military aid to Ukraine.
Le Pen stated she found 'the brutality of this decision reprehensible', adding that the move was 'very cruel for Ukrainian soldiers engaged in the patriotic defense of their country'.
Le Pen stated 'that world leaders are able to speak to each other with passion... harsh words can be exchanged is pretty normal after all'.
European far-right and conservative circles have long sought to build ties with the US Republican party, admiring its right-wing libertarian policies.
