At this year’s CPAC Hungary in Budapest, US President Donald Trump once again voiced firm support for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in a video message addressed to attendees.

Trump described Orbán as a “strong leader” and confirmed his “full and unconditional support” for the Hungarian leader’s upcoming re-election bid. He praised Orbán’s policies on border protection and national sovereignty, arguing that Hungary had demonstrated how to defend cultural identity and state interests in a challenging geopolitical climate.

As Telex writes, the US president also expressed confidence in Orbán’s electoral prospects, saying he hoped for a decisive victory despite political attacks. According to Trump, conservative forces worldwide share a common goal: to win “fairly, decisively and with strength.”

He also pointed to future collaboration on energy policy and migration, stressing that European countries must address mounting challenges and move towards solutions.
