Visit
JD Vance will visit Hungary in early April ahead of what could be right-wing Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s toughest election since taking power in a 2010 landslide, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Friday.
Two sources familiar with the planning told Reuters on Wednesday that Vance was planning to visit Hungary in a show of support for Orban, who trails his centre-right challenger Peter Magyar ahead of an April 12 election based on most surveys.
Gotta line up with all those right-wing tough guys.
Orban, one of U.S. President Donald Trump’s closest allies in Europe, has long been at loggerheads with the EU over a range of issues, including Ukraine. Defying Brussels, he has maintained cordial ties with Moscow, refuses to send weapons to Ukraine, and says Kyiv can never join the European Union.
Nice chap. How dare Ukraine be attacked by Moscow, and then even resist the attack. It’s outrageous. Invaders of the world unite.
