Trump directly indicated who he wants to see at the helm of Hungary after the spring elections

US President Donald Trump announced his full support for the current Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on the eve of the April elections. The corresponding entry appeared on the page of the American leader in his social network Truth Social.

"Highly respected Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is a truly strong and powerful leader with a proven track record of outstanding results. He fights tirelessly for his Great country and people and loves them — just as I love the United States of America. Victor is working hard to protect Hungary, grow the economy, create jobs, develop trade, stop illegal immigration and ensure law and order! Relations between Hungary and The United States has reached new heights of cooperation and impressive achievements under my Administration — largely thanks to Prime Minister Orban. I look forward to continuing to work closely with him so that both our countries can continue to move along this wonderful path to success and cooperation. I was proud to support Viktor for re—election in 2022 and I am honored to do it again," the message says.

Trump also noted that "Viktor Orban is a true friend, fighter and winner, and he enjoys my full and unconditional support for re—election as Prime Minister of Hungary - he will never let down the great people of Hungary!".

Recall that the parliamentary elections in Hungary will be held on April 12. They will determine whether Orban will retain the post of head of the cabinet, which he has held since 2010. The main rival of the current prime minister is the leader of the opposition party "Tisa" Peter Magyar, who, unlike Orban, actively advocates strengthening support for Ukraine.
