一句话看懂
Trump congratulated Germany's far-right AfD on its Saxony-Anhalt election win, posting "Make Germany Great Again."
The endorsement lands as AfD nears Germany's first far-right state government since WWII.
背景
AfD won 43.8% of the vote in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt on Sept. 6, 2026, more than doubling its 2021 result and taking 39 of 83 state parliament seats — three short of an outright majority. The result raises the prospect of Germany's first far-right state government since World War II and was cheered by far-right parties across Europe. Trump's congratulatory post on Truth Social marked his clearest endorsement yet of a party accused of antisemitism and Holocaust distortion.
