\"President<\/p>\n

Former US President Donald Trump received well wishes from his old pal, according to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n.<\/p>\n

“I just got off the phone with President @realDonaldTrump. “I wished him the best of luck for next Tuesday,” Orb\u00e1n said on X, referring to the forthcoming U.S. election without saying who phoned whom.<\/p>\n

The Hungarian Prime Minister remarked, “Only five days to go. “Fingers crossed.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2016, Viktor Orb\u00e1n became the first European politician to call Trump “a better option” in the presidential contest against Hillary Clinton, indicating a growing bond between the two leaders.<\/p>\n

When they reunited at the White House in 2019, they lauded each other and their bromance grew even stronger. Even after Capitol Hill was assaulted on January 6, 2021, Orb\u00e1n continued to refer to Trump as a “good friend.”<\/p>\n

As Trump’s campaign progressed, Orb\u00e1n chose a modified version of his slogan to use during Hungary’s presidency of the Council of the European Union: “Make Europe Great Again.” Trump publicly applauded Orb\u00e1n during his nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in late July.<\/p>\n

Even as former GOP officials raised concerns about Orb\u00e1n’s ties to Russia and China, he publicly claimed to be assisting in the development of Trump’s policy.<\/p>\n

Following the European Parliament’s discussion on Hungary’s EU presidency earlier this month, Orb\u00e1n stated at a press conference that if Trump won, he would open “several bottles of champagne”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
