"US Ambassador Condemns Hungary's Anti-American Rhetoric"
The US ambassador to Hungary, David Pressman, delivered a scathing speech in Budapest, criticizing the Hungarian government's anti-American rhetoric, expanding relationship with Russia, and rampant corruption. Pressman warned that the US will not wait out the Orbán administration and expressed deep concerns about Hungary's slide away from western alliances and democratic institutions. The deteriorating US-Hungary relations have been exacerbated by Prime Minister Orbán's meeting with Donald Trump and his comments about the war in Ukraine. Pressman also addressed concerns about the state of Hungary's democracy and emphasized that the US wants good ties with Hungary but Budapest's behavior is putting the relationship at risk.
