Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán expressed his support for former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election during a recent conversation. Orbán conveyed his well wishes to Trump and expressed hope for his success in the election, which is only five days away.
Orbán's endorsement of Trump is not new, as he has openly supported the former president throughout his campaign. Trump, in turn, has acknowledged Orbán's backing and even highlighted it during a presidential debate in September. The two leaders have a close relationship, with Orbán visiting Trump at Mar-a-Lago earlier this year.
Trump's affinity for leaders like Orbán, who are often considered authoritarian, has raised concerns among traditional US allies. Despite criticism, Trump has shown a willingness to align himself with strongmen on the global stage.
The Trump campaign has been contacted for a response to Orbán's recent statements, but no comment has been provided yet.
