Alice Weidel, the candidate from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), says she has "huge hopes" in Donald Trump's upcoming presidential term. Speaking in an interview with Bloomberg's Oliver Crook, she adds that she hopes the US president-elect will be able to end the conflict in Ukraine as "European member states are actually not willing or capable of doing something like that." The background to the end of the war is the prospect for restarting deliveries of cheap energy from Russia, most notably natural gas.
