Trump's foreign policy divides the transatlantic far-right

As the US-Israeli war on Iran escalates, divisions are not only deepening between the US and longstanding allies like Spain and the UK, but also erupting within the "new transatlantic alliance" of the far-right. Despite the MAGA movement's success in strengthening relations with their European counterparts over the past few years, disagreements over Trump's foreign policy may increasingly be making the American president a liability for Europe's far-right. Still, the far-right may yet overcome present divisions and regain momentum, especially if mainstream parties in Europe and the US fail to articulate compelling foreign policy alternatives of their own. This UI Commentary examines the dynamics underpinning the transatlantic far-right today and, in particular, the consequences of Trump's foreign policy.
