U.S. Vice President JD Vance is planning to visit Hungary in the coming days in a show of support for Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who is facing a difficult election next month. The timing of Vance's visit was not immediately clear and it could change if top officials chose to stay in Washington during the ongoing U.S.-Israeli air war on Iran. This comes as Orban's Fidesz party is trailing in polls ahead of his toughest re-election fight since 2010. The election comes as Hungary struggles with weak growth and an inflation surge after Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
