Headline: UNCAPTIONED: European Ultraconservatives Head to Washington to Rebuild Ties With Trump
Caption: European Ultraconservatives Head to Washington to Rebuild Ties With Trump. Several prominent European ultraconservative leaders have travelled to Washington to strengthen ties with the Trump administration after months of transatlantic tensions. The outreach reflects growing concern that disputes over trade, defence spending, Ukraine, and tariffs have strained relations between Europe and the White House. Politicians from far-right parties including Italy's Brothers of Italy, Poland's Law and Justice, and Spain's Vox see maintaining close access to Washington as strategically important despite policy disagreements. Many have sought to position themselves as trusted interlocutors capable of easing friction between the Trump administration and European governments. Their visits also reflects an effort to distinguish Europe's ultraconservative movement from mainstream EU leaders, who have often clashed with Trump on foreign and economic policy. While many support a strong transatlantic alliance and continued backing for Ukraine, they have also had to contend with U.S. demands for higher defence spending and tariffs.
