Peter Felser (AfD-Gemany): "We must remain a sovereign German party, not just the German branch of the MAGA movement."

Criticism from Trump's European allies intensified around the Greenland episode. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who previously served as a diplomatic bridge between Europe and the U.S., has noticeably cooled her public praise. Her deputy, Matteo Salvini—one of Trump's most vocal Italian supporters—flatly rejected the president's requests for European nations to help police the Strait of Hormuz. "Italy isn't at war with anyone," Salvini declared.

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen and her protégé Jordan Bardella have escalated their criticism, condemning Trump's military strikes in Venezuela, though they have remained more cautious regarding the Iran attack, reflecting the party's strong support for Israel.

Germany presents the starkest rebuke. Senior Alternative for Germany (AfD) lawmaker Peter Felser stated bluntly: "We cannot be the lap dog of an 'America First' policy if it destroys German jobs. We must remain a sovereign German party, not just the German branch of the MAGA movement."

Gerold Otten, an AfD lawmaker and defense expert, characterized Trump's military actions and contempt for international norms as deeply troubling. "You enter very dangerous territory when you say, 'I am above the law,'" Otten warned. "On the global stage, saying 'I'm doing it because I can, because I am powerful'—that leads to the breakdown of civilization, a state where only the law of the jungle remains."
