“I look forward to working closely with Prime Minister Orban again as I take the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States,” Trump said. He called V. Orbán a great person. “We took action against illegal immigration, protected our borders, created jobs and defended our traditions and Judeo-Christian values,” the Republican presidential candidate said of V. Orbán.
D. Trump said this on Friday by video link while participating in the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which is being held in Hungary for the third time.
V. Orban, in his speech at the conference on Thursday, promised delegates to continue the fight for the success of conservatives in elections around the world. 2024 is an election year around the world and conservative forces must aim to win to end “liberal hegemony”, the prime minister said.
Orban is one of Trump’s closest allies in Europe – the latter recently caused outrage and criticism when he said that if he won the US presidential election, he would not defend those NATO countries whose defense spending does not meet their commitments. Meanwhile, the current government of Democratic President Joe Biden has repeatedly criticized Hungary for its delay in ratifying Sweden’s accession to NATO.
Still, many on the American right view Orbán as a role model for his tough immigration policies, pro-family support and Christian conservatism. After meeting with D. Trump in the US state of Florida in March, he advocated for the former president’s return to the White House. “We need leaders in the world who are respected and can bring peace,” Orban said then. It is said that only D. Trump’s return to the White House could bring peace to Ukraine.
