Sarah Rogers Leads Trump’s Plan to Fund Far-Right Groups in Europe

As Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy, Sarah B. Rogers is advancing a Trump-backed plan to fund MAGA-aligned groups in Europe, framing it as a defense of “free speech” against the EU’s Digital Services Act while elevating Christian nationalist and anti-LGBTQ+ narratives. Her outreach has included ties to Turning Point USA, ADF International, and members of Germany’s AfD, reflecting themes central to Project 2025’s agenda and raising concerns that U.S. diplomacy funds are boosting Europe’s far right.
