Trump wants to give millions to right wing European groups
Trump opposes foreign influence in American politics, but his State Department is offering money to promote opposition to 'mass migration' abroad.
Source excerpt
President Donald Trump has repeatedly accused other countries—particularly China—of attempting to influence American politics, all while his administration is spending millions of taxpayer dollars to shape political debates abroad.
The State Department is currently accepting applications from MAGA-aligned groups in Europe for two or three grants, ranging from $1 million to $3 million, out of a total funding pot of about $4.9 million.
The grants are intended to fund research, conferences, cultural programs, and civil-society groups addressing "mass migration," national sovereignty, and lawfare, all in the name of defending "our common Western civilizational heritage." The agency is also looking to finance programs to "identify, analyze and respond to instances of lawfare and judicial activism that undermine democracy and national sovereignty."
In addition to this open grant application, the State Department is considering three separate awards to named British organizations.
