JD Vance’s trip to Hungary to help boost its pro-Trump leader’s election hopes has been marred by the leak of a phone call showing the right-winger sucking up to Vladimir Putin.
The vice president arrived in Budapest on Tuesday morning to show support for Viktor Orbán, a far-right leader facing a serious risk of losing Hungary’s April 12 election, which could end his 16-year rule.
On the morning of Vance’s European trip, Bloomberg revealed that Orbán told the Russian president in October 2025 that he was prepared to help Moscow “in any way” to win the war in Ukraine, adding: “In any matter where I can be of assistance, I am at your service.”
