In a move seen as a significant endorsement, US Vice-President Kamala Harris is set to visit Hungary, marking the latest demonstration of White House support for the country's embattled leader, Viktor Orbán. The visit comes as Orbán's government faces mounting criticism from the international community over its handling of democratic freedoms and human rights. Despite these concerns, the US administration has sought to maintain a delicate balance between its commitment to democratic values and its strategic interests in the region. By extending an olive branch to Orbán, the Biden administration is signaling its willingness to engage with a key European ally, even if it means navigating complex diplomatic waters.
The US vice-president's visit is the latest show of White House support for the Hungarian leader.
