Donald Trump says that Viktor Orbán’s loss in the Hungarian elections does not worry him. He trusts the new leader, Péter Magyar, to do a good job.
US President Donald Trump told ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl on Tuesday that he is not concerned about Viktor Orbán’s loss in Hungary’s parliamentary election and that he likes the likely future prime minister, Péter Magyar. TASR informs about it according to a Reuters report.
“I think the new prime minister will do a good job, he is a good person,” said the head of the White House, adding that he is not sure if the situation would have changed if he had arrived in Budapest instead of Vice President JD Vance. “He was significantly behind. I was not very involved in it. However, Viktor is a good person,” he added.
Trump’s attitude to Orbán’s loss
During the election campaign in Hungary, Trump repeatedly expressed his support for Orbán. He even addressed voters last week during a visit to Vance, when the vice president called him on the phone during his speech.
Magyar’s Tisza party won Sunday’s parliamentary elections, securing a constitutional majority in the process. After 16 years, the era of the government of the Fidesz party of the incumbent Prime Minister Orbán will thus come to an end in Hungary.
