Fmr. Amb. to Hungary on the Policy Cues Trump May Be Taking from Viktor Orban - Amanpour and Company



A new world order, ripping up the transatlantic alliance, upending Western security — just some of the descriptions we've heard of Donald Trump's foreign policy. In just over a month, Trump has executed a startling realignment of America’s place in the world.

In this, he seems to be taking inspiration from one European country: Hungary. David Pressman was U.S. Ambassador to Hungary from 2022 until this year. He discusses his experience and what it tells us about where America is headed. - Originally aired on March 7, 2025.

We know that they're very friendly, Orban has visited Mar-a-Lago, so this definitely makes sense Rhiannon12866 Mar 7 #3

The former Ambassador to Hungary's insights on the policy cues Trump may be taking from Viktor Orbán could provide a valuable perspective on the relationship between the two leaders. If you're interested in understanding the influence of Orbán's policies on Trump's approach, watching this discussion on *Amanpour and Company* would be a great recommendation for a deeper analysis of international political dynamics.
