Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has publicly endorsed Donald Trump for a return to the presidency, emphasizing the desire for peace in Eastern Europe and a "make America great again" presidency. Orbán's endorsement comes amid Hungary's unique position as the only one of the 31 NATO countries blocking Sweden's bid to join the alliance, allegedly due to claims that Sweden has denigrated Hungary's democratic standards. This situation has led to tension with a bipartisan delegation of U.S. senators who visited Budapest on Feb. 18 to discuss Sweden's NATO application but were refused a meeting by Hungary's Cabinet of Ministers. Senator Murphy described the refusal as 'strange and concerning' and highlighted the importance of Hungary moving forward with a vote on Sweden's NATO membership.
