U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance is expected to travel to Hungary in the coming days, according to sources familiar with the matter. This visit aims to express support for Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who is facing parliamentary elections next month.
While the exact dates of Vance’s trip remain uncertain, the sources indicated that his plans could change, particularly as U.S. officials may choose to remain in Washington amid ongoing military conflicts involving the U.S. and Israel against Iran.
The parliamentary elections in Hungary are scheduled for April 12. Recent opinion polls suggest a rise in support for Orbán’s Fidesz party, although the opposition party, Tisza, continues to lead by a margin of 14 percentage points.
In February, former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly endorsed Orbán ahead of the elections, signaling ongoing interest from U.S. political figures in Hungary’s political landscape.
