Summary
President Donald Trump praised Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in a call-in to a campaign rally address by Vice President JD Vance. Trump hailed Orban as “a fantastic man” who has “done a fantastic job” leading Hungary, crediting his hard-line immigration stance with keeping the country “strong”. Trump also criticized the European Union for interfering in the Hungarian election. Vance echoed Trump’s sentiments, calling Orban a “strong and powerful leader” and praising his policies on energy and the war in Ukraine.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Trump’s call-in to the rally was a familiar display of support for Orban, who is facing a tough reelection bid. The praise for Orban’s immigration stance was a scripted moment, one that Trump has repeated before. Vance’s visit to Budapest and his endorsement of Orban’s policies were also predictable. The only unexpected moment was Trump’s claim that Hungarians are “my kind of people”.
