The Trump administration is extremely invested in the outcome of the April 12 Hungarian election. Vice President JD Vance travels to Budapest this week for a series of events with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. In February, Secretary of State Marco Rubio made the same trip, touting the “golden age” of U.S.-Hungarian relations. Late last month, President Donald Trump gushed on Truth Social that Orban is “a truly strong and powerful Leader, with a proven track record of delivering phenomenal results.”
