U.S. Vice President JD Vance is planning to visit Hungary in the coming days in a show of support for the country’s long-time nationalist prime minister Viktor Orban, who is facing a difficult election next month, two sources familiar with the planning said on Wednesday.
The trip would come after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio traveled to Budapest in February to publicly back Orban ahead of his toughest re‑election fight since taking power in 2010. Opinion polls show him trailing in the final month before the April 12 vote.
