Donald Trump, the first reaction after the defeat of Viktor Orban in the elections in Hungary: "He was my friend; it wasn't about my election, but he was my friend, a decent man."

American President Donald Trump made a statement regarding the results of the elections in Hungary during a phone interview with "Corriere della Sera".

Although reporters asked him about Viktor Orban's defeat, whom he supported, Trump initially avoided answering. Later, he stated that Orban was a friend and a man of work, appreciating the way he managed immigration, mentioning that he did not allow the entry of immigrants who could destroy the country, comparing the situation to that in Italy. Vice President J.D. Vance, who supported Orban, added that he was the only European leader who opposed the bureaucracy in Brussels, which affects American interests.
