President Donald Trump , hours away from the deadline he put on Iran to reach a deal, took a few moments on Tuesday to hail Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in an impromptu call-in to a campaign rally address by Vice President JD Vance. "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 told the president in a call that blared over the speakers at the event in Hungary. Speaking by phone to what attendees described as roughly 5,000 supporters before Sunday's election, Trump praised Orban as "a fantastic man" who has "done a fantastic job" leading his country. "I love Hungary and I love that Viktor, I'll tell you," Trump said. "He's a fantastic man. We've had a tremendous relationship, and he does a job. Remember this? He didn't allow people to storm your country and invade your country like other people have and ruin their countries." TRUMP SAYS HUNGARY'S BORDER STANCE KEEPS CRIME DOWN, SAYS EUROPE 'FLOODING' WITH MIGRANTS "Frankly, he's kept your country good. He's kept Hungarian people in your country. And he's done a fantastic job," Trump added. Trump credited Orban’s hard-line immigration stance with keeping Hungary "strong" and said Hungarians were "my kind of people."

After Trump’s remarks, Vance told the crowd they had to get Orban reelected as Hungary’s prime minister. Vance's visit to Budapest , just days before a vote that independent polls suggest Orban might lose, underscores how crucial Trump's "MAGA" movement deems the veteran Hungarian nationalist's reelection.
