NEW YORK/BERLIN, Dec 14 (Reuters) - A senior German far-right lawmaker advocated for a political alliance between U.S. and German nationalist parties during a gathering associated with the “MAGA” movement on Saturday. The call for cooperation occurred at a gala event.

The lawmaker, whose name was not immediately specified in the report, used the platform to propose a formal partnership between parties sharing nationalist ideologies in both countries. Details regarding the specific parties involved or the envisioned structure of the alliance were not provided.

The “MAGA” gala refers to events affiliated with the “Make America Great Again” slogan, popularized by former U.S. President Donald Trump and his supporters. Such gatherings typically draw individuals and groups promoting nationalist and conservative viewpoints.

This development highlights the increasing international connections among far-right political movements and the potential for cross-border collaboration in promoting nationalist agendas. The event itself, and the lawmaker's remarks, are likely to draw scrutiny given the sensitive nature of such political alignments and their implications for transatlantic relations.
