US EditionTrump vows to boost Hungary economy if Orban wins vote
Trump said Washington is ready to use its full economic might to support Hungary if Orbán wins, as voters focus on inflation and stagnation.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump pledged to use the "full Economic Might of the United States" to strengthen Hungary's economy if Prime Minister Viktor Orbán wins Sunday's parliamentary election.
- Orbán, who has governed for 16 years, faces an unprecedented electoral challenge from Peter Magyar, the conservative Tisza party leader, amid polling showing the economy is paramount for 20% of voters.
- Campaign intensity has surged, with 20,000 supporters attending Magyar's rally in Győr on Thursday, while around 2,000 gathered in Debrecen to hear Orbán warn followers not to "put everything at risk."
- Incumbent government officials allege foreign interference and an "organized attempt to use chaos," while opposition members have surfaced evidence of Russian meddling to support the current leadership.
- Voters head to the polls on Sunday to determine the country's direction, a pivotal vote that could end Orbán's long tenure or validate his alignment with Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

On Sunday it is time: Hungary elects a new parliament - and thus also a prime minister. In order to hold Orban in office, the U.S. government takes on unusual help. In the campaign final sprint, Trump tries it with money.
