US EditionTrump Says Hungary's Magyar 'Going to Do a Good Job'
Trump said he likes Peter Magyar and expects the incoming Hungarian leader to do a good job after Viktor Orbán’s defeat.
- On Sunday, Hungarian voters handed a decisive victory to Peter Magyar's Tisza party, ousting Prime Minister Viktor Orbán after 16 years in power with record turnout.
- Orbán, who was backed by Trump and maintained close ties to Moscow, faced voters' rejection after leading Hungary for over a decade and a half. Vice President JD Vance had rallied for the incumbent last week.
- President Donald Trump told ABC News on Tuesday he had no concerns about Orbán's defeat and said the newcomer is "going to do a good job." Trump noted Magyar was formerly in Orbán's party.
- Congratulatory messages from Orbán's allies, including Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis, reached the incoming Tisza government; Magyar invited them to commemorate Hungary's 70th anniversary of the 1956 revolution.
- Magyar expects Orbán to drop his technical veto on the European Union's 90 billion euro loan package for Ukraine, which Orbán had taken an "unprecedented step in the EU" by refusing to endorse during the campaign.
