Trump Says He Was Unfazed by Hungary’s Election Result

Donald Trump told an ABC News interviewer that he was not worried when Viktor Orban lost the Hungarian election. He added that he believes the new Prime Minister, Peter Magyar, will do a good job. Trump said he had not really focused on the campaign. “I didn’t think it would change much if I had gone to Hungary instead of Vice President JD Vance, ” he explained. He admitted that Orban’s support was “behind substantially” and that he was not deeply involved in the campaign.The former president had supported Orban up to the vote and even spoke briefly at a rally in Hungary last week. Despite this, Orban was defeated after 16 years in power. Hungarians turned out in record numbers for a pro‑European Union platform led by the center‑right rival, Peter Magyar. Trump’s comments come as Hungary moves toward a new political direction. The electorate’s choice signals a shift away from Orban’s long rule and toward a more EU‑friendly government.
