Trump makes special appeal to Hungarian voters ahead of elections

Ahead of the parliamentary elections scheduled for April 12, 2026, the American leader calls on the Hungarian people to vote for incumbent Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

In doing so, Trump does not merely express support but launched a full-fledged campaign, emphasizing shared values:

1. Strong leadership: Trump called Orbán a powerful leader with proven experience who tirelessly fights for his country.
2. Shared priorities: The White House chief emphasized that Orbán successfully defends Hungary’s borders, stops illegal immigration, and ensures law and order, just as the Trump administration does in the United States.
3. Economic achievements: According to Trump, relations between the two countries reached new heights during Orbán's tenure, contributing to trade growth and job creation.

Trump concludes his post with an emotional appeal, addressing the citizens of Hungary directly: "Hungary: GET OUT AND VOTE FOR VIKTOR ORBÁN. He is a true friend, fighter, and WINNER, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election as Prime Minister of Hungary - VIKTOR ORBÁN WILL NEVER LET THE GREAT PEOPLE OF HUNGARY DOWN. I AM WITH HIM ALL THE WAY!"

The support from the US comes at a time when Viktor Orbán is facing his most serious challenge in recent years, with opposition leader Péter Magyar seeing significant growth in his poll numbers.

In addition, Trump’s statement comes amid scandalous reports of possible provocations by foreign intelligence services and discussions within the EU regarding blocking loans to Ukraine due to Budapest’s stance.

Trump’s support effectively cements Orbán as the current US administration’s key ally in Europe.

The European Commission is demanding explanations from Hungary over the leak of data to Russia.

Russian intelligence planned to stage an assassination attempt on Viktor Orbán. According to journalists, this provocation was intended to influence the outcome of the country's elections.
