The far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) obtained 44% of the votes in the regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt and came in first place, but failed to achieve an absolute majority.

AfD achieved a historic result in Saxony-Anhalt, far ahead of its political rivals. However, the party remained three mandates away from an absolute majority. In Germany, traditional parties have so far refused to collaborate with AfD, maintaining the so-called…

Donald Trump’s distancing from NATO became visible last month, in the waters around Iceland. Allied forces gathered here to practice detecting Russian submarines, attracting German surveillance planes that scrutinized the waves alongside Canadian warships and Belgian fighter planes.
