US Vice President JD Vance will visit Hungary on Tuesday and Wednesday, during the final week of campaigning ahead of the country’s general election, the White House has announced.
Vance will hold talks with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and deliver remarks on the “rich partnership between the United States and Hungary”, according to the White House statement.
The Trump administration has been a vocal supporter of Orbán’s conservative, anti-immigration agenda. In February, President Donald Trump publicly endorsed the Hungarian prime minister ahead of the vote.
“I proudly supported Viktor in the 2022 elections, and it is an honour to do so again” Trump wrote in February.
Trump has a history of actively supporting his right-wing conservative political allies. He supported Japan’s Sanae Takaichi and Argentina’s Javier Milei in their campaigns. Both emerged as winners.
