US Attack in Venezuela Alarms Europe's Pro-Trump Allies

A political shock from Latin America is causing anxiety among right-wing populists in Europe. For years, pro-Trump groups in Central and Southeastern Europe have operated in a supportive but legally uncertain space. They have aligned themselves with the former U.S. president's "America First" ideology. However, the recent U.S. military action in Venezuela has triggered a new realization. There is a growing awareness that Donald Trump's unilateral foreign policy could also threaten them. These European political movements now see that Trump's actions are unpredictable. His decisions are based solely on U.S. interests, with little regard for international allies. This has left Europe's populists reassessing their unwavering support. They must confront an uncomfortable truth: their powerful American idol may not protect their interests.
