Donald Trumps choice for national security advisor met at Trump Tower with the leader of a far-right Austrian political party founded in the 1950s by ex-Nazis.

Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who the president-elect has tapped to coordinate national security in his administration, met several weeks ago with the head of Austrias Freedom Party, which reached a cooperation agreement with Russias ruling party, reported the New York Times.

The agreement was seen a clear signal that the Kremlin is forging bonds with right-wing political parties across Europe as part of a coordinated effort to weaken Western democracies including the United States.

Heinz-Christian Strache, the Freedom Partys leader, announced the agreement Monday on his Facebook page, where he also revealed hed met with Flynn last month in New York City at the building where Trump lives and has based his transition team.

The five-year, non-legally binding cooperation agreement calls for regular meetings and collaboration on economic, business and political projects between representatives from Russia and Austria where the Freedom Party has gained political influence this year.
