Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the world would be better off if former President Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election over incumbent Joe Biden.

The two leaders met over the weekend at Trump’s Florida property, Mar-a-Lago, where they discussed a “wide range of issues affecting Hungary and the United States, including the paramount importance of strong and secure borders to protect the sovereignty of each nation,” according to Trump’s presidential campaign. 

“Here in America, the campaign is in full swing, and indeed is rushing ahead,” Orbán said in a Sunday video posted on X. “It is up to Americans to make their own decision, and it is up to us Hungarians to frankly admit it would be better for the world and better for Hungary too, if President Donald Trump were to return to power.”

“There would be no war today if he were still President of the United States,” he added, even though the U.S. was at war in Afghanistan and the war in eastern Ukraine began when Russia first invaded back in 2014, and fighting has continued.

President Joe Biden attacked the Trump-Orbán meeting and criticized the latter as being undemocratic.

“You know who he’s meeting with today and — down in Mar-a-Lago? Orbán of Hungary, who stated flatly he doesn’t think democracy works,” Biden said. “I see a future where we defend democracy, not diminish it.”

Orbán issued a statement in support of the former U.S. president in April 2023, when charges were filed in the first of the four criminal cases Trump is facing, while a year earlier, Trump said Orbán had his “complete support and endorsement” for his reelection campaign that year.
