European leaders with strong anti-immigrant views are heading to Washington to attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. Among the notable attendees is Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who recently met with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Meloni, a prominent conservative figure, has been vocal about curbing migration to Italy. Her supporters see her as a key ally for Trump in Europe, especially as she aligns closely with his policies. While mainstream conservative politicians from Europe are also expected to join the event, the guest list includes leaders from far-right parties that have only recently gained traction in their home countries. These leaders share Trump’s hardline stance on immigration, making the inauguration a gathering of like-minded figures. One notable absence is Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, a staunch Trump supporter. Despite his admiration for Trump, Orbán was not invited to the event, as foreign heads of state traditionally do not attend U.S. presidential inaugurations. The event highlights the growing influence of right-wing politics across Europe and its alignment with Trump’s vision. As leaders converge in Washington, the inauguration is shaping up to be a significant moment for international relations and political alliances. ---
