Alternative für Deutschland, the far-right German political party suspected of extremism by the country’s domestic intelligence agency, said it has accepted an invite to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration next week.

Tino Chrupalla, co-leader of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), will attend U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. The move continues the AfD's controversial ties with Trump allies and raises concerns about influence on European politics before the German elections.

A co-leader of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) will attend the inauguration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Jan. 20 just a month before a federal election in Germany, the party said on Thursday.

Germany's conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) is sending a top lawmaker to US President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, aiming to demonstrate the party's intent on good relations with the new administration.
