https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/world/europe/trump-samson-europe.html?smid=nytcore-ios-shareWhen Samuel Samson, a snr adviser at the #State Dept, sat down privately with #FarRight German lawmakers in an office just steps from the White House, he was breaking with history.
For 8 decades after WWII, the #US’ #ForeignPolicy establishment had usually steered clear of #Germany’s hard-right parties, seeking to ensure that they never seized power again. That changed under #Trump, leading last Sept to Samson’s meeting with Beatrix von Storch & Joachim Paul of Alternative for Germany, or #AfD.

#AfD is a party designated as a suspected #extremist organization by German #intelligence.
As the meeting evolved into a general gripe session, the AfD politicians told Samson, then 26, & several other #US diplomats that they feared #Germany’s government might ban their party, acc/to Mr. Paul & another person familiar with the conversation.

The Americans railed against European #regulation of #socialmedia, calling it a tool for stamping out conservative opinions. And the group discussed a bogus #FarRight #ConspiracyTheory that mainstream European leaders were seeking to replace #white populations with nonwhite immigrants.
