The Vice President of AfD discussed democracy and freedom of expression at the White House.

Beatrix von Storch and Joachim Paul, members of the AfD, discussed at the White House with officials from the National Security Council and the State Department about democracy and political freedoms in Germany. The visit underscores the growing ties between the AfD and the Trump administration, in the context of JD Vance's expressed support for the far-right party. The discussions included concerns related to restrictions on freedom of expression and Paul's exclusion from the German electoral list, considered a restriction of political rights.
