Hungarians Risk Trump Ties If They Oust Orban, Ex-Envoy Says

Hungarians risk jeopardizing a special relationship with the US if they vote out Prime Minister Viktor Orban in elections next year, said US President Donald Trump’s former envoy to Budapest.

Trump and Orban have forged a close bond, holding multiple meetings and calls in recent years. The Hungarian premier, who’s fashioned himself as an inspiration for nationalists around the world, endorsed Trump’s first presidential campaign and called for his return during the administration of Joe Biden.
