Impact of Trump's Election on European Populism
Trump's election victory reignites enthusiasm among the populist right in Europe, with leaders like Nigel Farage and Viktor Orban finding renewed momentum. They believe that Trump's win legitimizes their cause and could lead to increased support and funding from U.S. sources, enhancing their political clout.
