TRUMP HAILS 'GREAT DAY FOR GERMANY' AFTER CONSERVATIVES WIN ELECTION
Hailed by U.S. President Donald Trump as a "great day for Germany" after the centre-right opposition won first place in Sunday's election, followed closely by the far-right AfD with its strongest result ever. The outcome of the election signals a shift towards more conservative policies in Germany, with Trump praising the German people for rejecting what he called a "no common sense agenda". However, concerns remain about the implications of this shift on Germany's relations with the European Union and its stance on global issues.
- This development highlights the growing tensions between Western liberal democracies and the rise of populist movements across the continent, which could have significant implications for international politics.
- How will Germany's newfound conservative majority influence its relationships with other EU countries, particularly those with differing ideologies and policy priorities?
