Vice President JD Vance arrived in Hungary this week to rally support for Prime Minister Viktor Orban, irritating the opposition leader who is favored to win the upcoming election.

Vance touched down on Tuesday and immediately began his two-day speaking tour with remarks at a “Day of Hungarian-American Friendship” event in Budapest, where he celebrated not only the two countries’ “economic cooperation” but also their “moral cooperation” in “defense of Western civilization.”
