For Europe's long-standing American allies, President Trump and Vice President JD Vance's comments on Ukraine and Germany this month were one of the worst tests of the post-war order.
But for the current and former world leaders who gathered at the conservative political action conference this week in Maryland, they represent something else: the decline of the global right-wing revival, thanks to Trump's reelection, The order is being inevitably changed.
“We missed the first American Revolution in 1776,” said Liz Truss, a conservative member of parliament, who briefly served as British Prime Minister. “We want to be part of the second American Revolution.”
Ms. Truss is one of more than six politicians from many countries, making her pilgrimage to CPAC this week in Oxon Hill, Maryland, outside Washington. During the Tea Party and Trump era, a long gathering of conservative Americans helped the right-wing rebellion within the Republican Party, which in recent years globalized these ambitions. The conference is now a connector to the right-wing political movements in the Americas, Europe and Asia, increasingly regarding itself as an ally in its struggle with institutions and geopolitical norms that dominate world affairs since World War II.
Over the past two weeks, Mr. Trump and his senior officials have questioned the order more directly and publicly than any U.S. government in the post-war period.
Trump's Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Russian officials in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to reset relations between the two global powers and seek ways to end the Ukrainian war. Meanwhile, Mr. Trump called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a “dictator” and accused him of his 2022 invasion of his country.
The meeting in Riyadh was a few days in Mr. Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference, comparing the European Union's online speech to the Soviet review. He also met with Germany's right-wing alternatives, a party that has long been marginalized by the embrace of neo-Nazi slogans by some members and its ties to the recent coup.
Mr Vance defended his Munich speech at a CPAC appearance on Thursday, as did the march of international allies.
Standard businesses of right-wing political movements around the world – prime ministers from northern Macedonia and Slovakia, opposition leaders in Poland and Spain – welcome Trump as a fight against liberalism beyond the state and the continent.
They abandon their own domestic enemies (judges, online speaking restrictions, civil society programs and mainstream news organizations), part of an international project designed to curb traditional values, religion and free markets and to call the new U.S. president Be an allies to turn the situation around. them.
“He is completely changing the international pattern,” said Balázs Orbán, political director of the irrelevant Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, in an interview at the meeting.
In a speech Thursday, Eduardo Bolsonaro, a Brazilian MP and son of former president of the country, Jair Bolsonaro, who lost the 2022 election this week Trying to continue to rule, he was accused of ruling in his country, which he described as a “laboratory” which was “used as a test basis for the weaponization of justice against conservatives, liberals and Christians – always with Pretend to protect democracy.”
In particular, the CPAC's foreign delegation celebrated the efforts led by Elon Musk to eliminate U.S. international development agencies and globally funded civil society programs.
In the United States, such programs have enjoyed extensive support with bipartisan support for many years, and with similar support from the EU, the alliance has joined the United States as an independent news media, a rule of law program and a recent effort to curb online misunderstandings in the world All over the place. But these efforts have angered the rising right-wing parties, which are often affected by them.
In his speech, Mr. Bolsonaro accused U.S. Agency for “directing resources to censorship, judicial extension and political persecution”.
These sudden embraces of Mr. Musk’s dissatisfaction with the U.S. Development Agency reflect the growing impact of global rights on U.S. rights – commemorated at the CPAC when the president of Argentina’s president Javier Milei became a celebrity in U.S. rights. This connection, which is affected by U.S. rights. To show Mr. Musk that he had wielded the drama during the 2023 presidential campaign.
This year’s CPAC may be a vision of right-wing solidarity, some of Mr. Trump’s political trajectory, most notably his White House adviser Stephen K.
Mr. Bannon spoke on Thursday at CPAC, threatening to break the alliance, however, briefly raised his hand at the end of the speech, and in the eyes of many, many mentioned the Nazi tribute – this gesture recalls Similar tributes were made by Mr. Musk at the inauguration rally of Mr. Trump.
His denial of Mr Bannon's gesture was a reference for the Nazis, prompting Jordan Bardella, the leader of the French far-right country, to cancel his planned CPAC speech on Friday. He said in a statement that he made a decision “immediately” after seeing Mr. Bannon make a gesture toward Nazi ideology.”
But another international spokesman on Friday's show, Mexican actor and political activist Eduardoverástegui leaned towards Mr. Bannon's provocation, and at the end of his own speech, his arms were similar to his arms.
British politician Nigel Farage spoke on Thursday, the first foreigners to establish ties with the Obama-era Republican right, noting that there will be more rights there since then.
“It's amazing – 13 years ago, I was the only foreign spokesperson.”
Other spokesmen also followed Mr Farage's lead in opposing competition from the European Parliament and EU bureaucracy, part of a global network of institutions that tend to their movement.
“My government was punished for standing in Brussels,” said Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki from 2017 to 2023, when his right-wing legal and judicial party was expelled by the center-right party Civic Platform Power.
Mr. Orbán, a Hungarian official, is a role model for many like-minded political activists in global rights, saying right-wing political movements tend to cooperate more naturally than liberal movements. But he believes that increasing interest – preventing immigration, Christianity-centered, skepticism of the Ukrainian war – is blending different movements.
“It's complicated because if you're a national conservative, it means you want the best suited to your country, and your country's national interests may meet the national interests of other countries,” he said. “But we still have to do so. Do it, try to identify shared points – there are many points now.”
