Deepening relations
Nehammer wants to deepen relations with the USA
Austrian Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) spoke to US President-elect Donald Trump on the phone on Monday evening - and warmly congratulated him on his overwhelming election victory.

It was a very friendly conversation, Nehammer enthused. As the Chancellor told X, the conversation focused on energy security, cooperation with the USA in the economic and defense sectors and Austria's role as a "place of international dialogue".
"In view of the global challenges, we reaffirmed our joint commitment to promoting peace, prosperity and freedom worldwide," he said. He looked forward to "deepening the relationship between the United States and Austria during his upcoming term and strengthening our partnership."
Joint fight against illegal migration
The ÖVP leader was one of the first Austrian politicians to congratulate Trump on US election day in early November. "We look forward to further expanding and strengthening our transatlantic relations in order to successfully tackle global challenges together," Nehammer stated. The Chancellor was convinced that joint projects such as the fight against illegal migration would be further intensified. After all, the USA is "an important strategic partner for Austria".
