"U.S. Implements Stricter Travel Measures Following Hungary Passport Fraud"

The United States is tightening travel restrictions for Hungarians due to concerns over passport fraud. Hungarians will now only be allowed to enter the U.S. once a year through the visa-waiver program, while citizens of other countries in the program can make multiple visits over a two-year period. The move comes amid an increasingly strained relationship between Hungary and the U.S., as well as concerns about Russian espionage. The abuse of Hungarian passports has been a long-standing concern, with hundreds of non-Hungarians fraudulently obtaining passports and assuming fake identities. The U.S. has criticized Hungary for its ties with Russia and its refusal to approve NATO membership for Sweden.
