Vance: Thanked Orban for Defending US Interests in Europe

In a move that underscored deep ties and shared interests, US Vice President Vance publicly backed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban during the recent parliamentary election campaign. This endorsement was framed not as interference, but as a gesture of gratitude for Orban's consistent efforts in championing American interests within the European landscape.

He is one of the few European leaders willing to stand up against the Brussels bureaucracy, which is very bad for the United States.

Vance specifically lauded Orban as a rare European leader who actively challenges the perceived overreach of the Brussels bureaucracy. He pointed to instances where Orban has stood against policies detrimental to American businesses, positioning Hungary as a crucial ally in safeguarding US economic interests on the continent.

He is one of the few European leaders willing to stand up against the Brussels bureaucracy, which is very bad for the United States. When you see the European bureaucracy targeting American companies, sometimes he is the only one who votes against it and defends American interests.

While acknowledging the possibility of Orban's defeat, Vance emphasized the US government's commitment to its long-standing relationship with Hungary. He expressed optimism about future collaboration with the incoming government, signaling a desire to maintain strong bilateral ties regardless of the electoral outcome.

I am sure that cooperation will be very good.
