Hungary’s PM wants Trump to win 2024 election.

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban Supports Trump’s Return to the White House

Get ready for some political drama! Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has publicly declared his support for former President Donald Trump’s return to the White House in the 2024 Presidential Election. Orban is known for being a staunch nationalist and defender of Western Christian values, making him one of the most prominent conservative leaders in the European Union. He’s also a harsh critic of the EU’s public policies, which has put him at odds with Brussels on several occasions.

Orban has been in office for 17 years, making him Europe’s longest-serving prime minister. He first served as Hungary’s head of government from 1998 to 2002 before returning to office in 2010. During his time in office, he’s clashed with Brussels over issues like illegal migration to Europe, traditional family values, domestic policy, and policy decisions surrounding the war in Ukraine.

Despite his conflicts with the country’s judiciary, media, and foreign-backed NGOs, Orban has refused to criticize President Joe Biden when asked. He told reporters that “it is not my job to criticize the head of the United States. It is not a good business idea, anyway.”

Orban’s Support for Trump and Ron DeSantis

During an appearance at Bloomberg’s Qatar Economic Forum on May 23, reporters asked Orban if he would like to see Trump win the next election. He replied, “I hope so.” Orban has previously expressed his support for Trump, with whom he formed a close bond during his presidency.

When asked about his opinion of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is expected to challenge Trump in the U.S. presidential primaries for the Republican nomination in 2024, Orban said, “He is also a very good leader, but I belong to the club of the veterans, and the veterans support each other.”

Orban’s Views on Ukraine Conflict

Orban also weighed in on the Ukraine conflict, saying that both sides need to agree to an immediate ceasefire and return to the negotiating table to “save lives.” He believes that Kyiv has no chance at winning the war against Moscow. However, EU defense ministers in Brussels are continuing to discuss plans to start training Ukrainian pilots to fly American-made F-16 fighter jets in the near future.
