Trump Administration Redirects US Tax Dollars to Rightwing European Thinktanks, Sparking Controversy
The Trump administration has been redirecting US taxpayer money to rightwing thinktanks in Europe, raising concerns about foreign political influence. According to reports, the US State Department plans to allocate $12 million to conservative organizations in the UK, with $7 million going to a group co-founded by former Conservative minister Jacob Rees-Mogg. This move is seen as an attempt to bolster far-right parties and influencers in Europe. The funding is part of a broader strategy to cultivate resistance to Europe's current trajectory, as outlined in the US national security strategy. Critics argue that this financial support is a form of meddling in foreign politics, with some European leaders warning against such interference.
