Washington CNN —If there is one area where senior Senate Republicans have chosen to break with former President Donald Trump, it is his embrace of Hungary’s far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
He added, “Hungary also continues to disregard the concerns raised by its allies and partners about deepening its ties with China.
Orbán has endorsed Trump, and Trump has touted the prime minister’s backing, even noting it during September’s presidential debate.
GOP Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina restarted the U.S. Senate NATO Observer Group in 2018, co-chairing the group alongside Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire.
This led Tillis and Shaheen to introduce a Senate resolution condemning Hungary’s democratic backsliding and its delay in allowing Sweden to join the alliance.
