Top Trump official says no US ‘slush fund’ for far right in Europe

(Jack Detsch – Politico) The U.S. is not interfering in European politics, a senior U.S. State Department official told POLITICO on Saturday, despite reported efforts by the Trump administration to fund MAGA-aligned organizations on the continent. Speaking at the POLITICO Pub on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, U.S. Under Secretary of State Sarah Rogers pushed back on a POLITICO report that Rogers and other Trump officials had held talks with groups in France and Britain and asked the Washington-based Heritage Foundation to provide a list of potential organizations to fund. “The idea that we have a slush fund for the far right is a lie,” Rogers said. “It’s not America’s decision to govern who’s elected in Europe.” – Top Trump official says no US ‘slush fund’ for far right in Europe – POLITICO
