Orbán is “a true friend, fighter and winner” and has Trump’s “complete and total” support, the president writes on Truth Social.

The relationship between Hungary and the United States "has reached new heights of cooperation and spectacular success" under both leaders, Trump continues.

The EU's longest-serving leader responds on Facebook by thanking the president.

After 16 years in power, Orbán is aiming for a fifth term in the April 12 elections. For the first time in a long time, however, there is a strong challenger in very popular conservative opposition leader Péter Magyar.
