Balanced News: Hungary’s nationalist leader Orban says he wants Trump to win U.S. election

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has publicly declared his support for former US President Donald Trump to win next year’s election and return to the White House. Speaking at Bloomberg’s Qatar Economic Forum, Orban also praised Florida Governor Ron DeSantis but emphasized his preference for Trump. Orban is Europe’s longest-serving prime minister and is regarded as the most pro-Kremlin leader of the 27 nations of the European Union. The former communist state has often been criticized for looking to assert its influence over courts, the media, and other independent institutions.
