Trump intensifies support for Viktor Orbán ahead of the elections in Hungary

The Trump administration is intensifying support for Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán, just a month before the elections in Hungary. U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Saturday that he offers "complete and total support" for Orbán, who is facing a tough electoral competition. U.S. Vice President JD Vance will visit Budapest in April to support the Prime Minister, despite criticism from European Union partners, who have deemed Orbán's blocking of agreements as "unacceptable."

Orbán, the longest-serving leader in the EU, has been a point of tension for Brussels, recently blocking a €90 billion loan intended for Ukraine. Trump praised Hungary's immigration policy and emphasized cooperation in the energy sector, stating that Hungary and the U.S. "show the way to a revitalized West."
