Vance, the author of the bestselling memoir 'Hillbilly Elegy' and a key advisor to US President Joe Biden, has sparked controversy with his comments in Budapest. During a recent speech, Vance expressed his support for the re-election of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, a far-right leader known for his anti-immigration policies and strained relations with the European Union.

The American author's remarks have also sparked debate about the role of foreign influence in Hungarian politics, as well as the potential implications for the country's future under Orbán's leadership.
