Former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly endorsed Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán ahead of the country’s upcoming parliamentary elections. Orbán, known for his right-wing policies, is currently facing strong competition from the opposition Tisza Party, led by young conservative Peter Magyar, which is leading in recent opinion polls.
Trump has previously supported right-wing candidates internationally who share similar political views. The election is considered a significant challenge for Orbán, who has been in power for over a decade.
**Why this matters**
The endorsement highlights ongoing international connections between right-wing leaders. Hungary’s election outcome could influence the country’s future political direction and its relationship with the European Union. A shift in power may also impact regional stability and policy priorities in Central Europe.
