US EditionJD Vance Praises Hungary as He Arrives in Budapest Ahead of Elections
Vance urged voters to back Orbán as polls show his ruling coalition trailing by double digits, underscoring Trump administration support.
- On Tuesday, U.S. Vice President JD Vance arrived in Budapest for a two-day official visit to meet Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and attend a campaign rally, demonstrating White House support ahead of the April 12 election.
- The Trump administration has cultivated ties with Orbán for years, granting Hungary exemptions from U.S. sanctions and repeatedly praising the prime minister as a "truly strong and powerful Leader."
- Independent polls indicate Orbán's Fidesz party trails the opposition Tisza party by 10% to 20%, making the April 12 vote his toughest challenge since returning to power in 2010.
- Opposition leader Peter Magyar criticized the visit as "foreign interference," warning that "Hungarian history is not written in Washington, Moscow, or Brussels" as polling day approaches.
- By backing far-right European allies, the Trump administration's strategy potentially reshapes Budapest's post-election alignments with Russia and the EU amid a contentious political landscape.
