Orban Endangers Hungary’s Status as an Ally, U.S. Diplomat Says


US Ambassador to Hungary warns that Prime Minister Orban's close ties with Russia and anti-American rhetoric are jeopardizing Hungary's position as a trusted NATO ally. The ambassador criticized Orban for aligning with Putin over the war in Ukraine and for policy choices that isolate Hungary from its allies. Orban's visit to Trump in Florida and his advocacy for a plan to end the war in Ukraine that aligns with Russian interests have further strained relations. The ambassador detailed various complaints about Hungary's failure to fulfill its obligations as an ally, including issues with American soldiers based in Hungary. Despite concerns, there is no call for Hungary's expulsion from NATO. The US policy transcends partisan politics, and the Orban administration cannot wait out the United States.
