Donald Trump has risked igniting a new war of words with the European Union after pouring praise onto Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. The comments from the US President come ahead of Hungary's parliamentary election on Sunday, which is shaping up to be the biggest challenge to Orban during his 16 years in charge of government.
The US President wrote on Truth Social: "My Administration stands ready to use the full Economic Might of the United States to strengthen Hungary’s Economy, as we have done for our Great Allies in the past, if Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian People ever need it. We are excited to invest in the future Prosperity that will be generated by Orbán’s continued Leadership!"
