A Hungarian crowd erupted in cheers Tuesday while President Donald Trump made a surprise call during Vice President J.D. Vance’s speech.
Vance spoke in Hungary to express support for Prime Minister Viktor Orban ahead of the nation’s election on Sunday. During his speech, around 5,000 Hungarians in the audience applauded as Vance put Trump on speakerphone.
“Wow, that’s some people you have there, J.D.,” Trump said as the audience applauded.
“Mr. President, you are on with about 5,000 Hungarian patriots and I think they love you even more than they love Viktor Orban,” Vance said.
“Well, I can’t believe that. I can’t believe that because I love Hungary and I love that Viktor, I’ll tell you. He’s a fantastic man, we’ve had a. tremendous relationship and he does the job,” Trump said. “Remember this, he didn’t allow people to storm your country and invade your country like other people have.”
WATCH:
Vance also held a joint press conference with Orban, where he accused the European Union (EU) of interfering in Hungary’s elections. Orban is facing the possibility of losing to Péter Magyar, a former top member of the ruling Fidesz party, after 16 years in office.
“I won’t tell the people of Hungary how to vote; I would encourage the bureaucrats in Brussels to do the exact same thing,” Vance said.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) fined Hungary in June 2024 for failing to comply with asylum rules and restricting access to asylum procedures. Hungary has also refused to comply with the EU’s solidarity-based refugee relocation policies since 2015. The prime minister has repeatedly argued that allowing migration, especially from Muslim-majority countries, destroys his country’s Christian cultural identity.
Orban also stated that the relationship between the U.S. and Hungary is in a “golden era” under Trump since the two leaders see eye to eye on several key issues, including migration and gender ideology. Vance added that he traveled to Hungary to help Orban win and praised his role in defending western civilization.
