Germany Warns US Against Election Interference After Grants Scheme Announcement The German government has expressed concern over potential US meddling in upcoming elections after the US State Department announced a grants scheme to fund "Maga aligned causes" in Europe.
The initiative, which offers up to $3 million for European charities, thinktanks, and individuals working on issues like national sovereignty, migration, censorship, and lawfare, has sparked fears of election interference.
The language surrounding eligibility for these grants is deliberately opaque, leading some to speculate that the real aim is not only to influence European politics but also to circumvent existing laws around foreign assistance.
