Weidel wants Trump to be US president
Right satisfied is AfD chairwoman Weidel with none of the candidates in the US campaign. However, she has a clear favorite, whom she wants to see in the White House in the future: it's Donald Trump. One reason is Ukraine.
The AfD chairwoman Alice Weidel wishes that Donald Trump wins the US presidential election in November. "Definitely I will vote for Donald Trump," said Weidel in the ZDF summer interview. Biden is "obviously not in control of his mental faculties," she said, looking at the latest reports about Biden's health. Biden should not be president anymore. "That's not even an option."
Moreover, Trump has promised to end the war in Ukraine by cutting off financial support for Kiev. "And I believe he will keep his word," said the AfD chairwoman. At the same time, she admitted that she considers the US campaign a "disaster": "I would have preferred that possibly completely other candidates had run."
In June, it was reported that Trump was presented with a proposal to end Russia's attack on Ukraine by two influential advisors. With the plan, the two conflict parties were supposed to be brought to agree to a ceasefire and peace negotiations.
"Trump wants to make big deals"
In order for this to succeed, Trump, in case of a victory in the US presidential election, would tell Ukraine that it would only receive further weapons from the US if it entered peace negotiations. At the same time, Russia would be informed that Ukraine would receive more support from the US if Moscow in any way refused to participate in negotiations.
The chief of the Munich Security Conference, Christoph Heusgen, has doubts whether Trump would actually implement his plan in case of a re-election. "Trump is someone who wants to make big deals," said Heusgen to the Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND). "He tried to solve the North Korea problem in his first term, but underestimated the complexity of the issue. In the event of a Trump victory, the pressure on Germany, on Europe, to support Ukraine even more would certainly increase."
Alice Weidel, the chairwoman of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), strongly supports Donald Trump in the US presidential election 2024 due to his stance on Ukraine. She believes that Trump, if elected, will keep his promise to end the conflict by cutting off financial aid to Kiev. However, Heusgen, the chief of the Munich Security Conference, expresses doubts about Trump's ability to fully implement his plan, citing his history of underestimating complex issues.
