“In Hungary election, Trump and Putin are backing Viktor Orban”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
No evidence from Wikipedia or other sources confirms Trump or Putin's support for Viktor Orbán in the Hungarian election. The 2025 Russia–US summit in Budapest is a proposed meeting, not an endorsement of Orbán's candidacy.
