Survey: Hungarians see Donald Trump as a guarantee of peace and security
Trump is a better NATO ally than Joe Biden
- at least this is what the Századvég research claims.
Hungarians see Donald Trump, the expected Republican presidential candidate of the United States, as a guarantee of peace and security, the Századvég Foundation announced on Friday based on its public opinion poll. It was reported that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is making a multi-day visit to the United States, during which he will hold talks with former American President Donald Trump and now the only Republican presidential aspirant on March 8.
Trump, like Hungary's position, is on the side of peace and calls for an early end to the Russian-Ukrainian armed conflict so that no more people die in the war
they added.
It was announced: in view of the fact that one of the main political fault lines between the Democratic President Joe Biden and Donald Trump in the US presidential election due in November will likely be the continuation of the war or the promotion of peace, Századvég surveyed a thousand people in March and surveyed what Hungarians think about the current and former US president in this regard.

The statement explains that the United States, as the world's leading economic, military, and political power, plays a key role in shaping world political processes and preserving their stability, so the current president of the USA has an unprecedented public responsibility.
Donald Trump was the first American president since Jimmy Carter, who resigned in 1981, during whose tenure the United States did not start another war.
In light of this, it is less surprising that the majority of respondents (53 percent) feel that the world was more peaceful and safer during the time of President Donald Trump than it is now, during the reign of Joe Biden.
- detailed in the announcement.
They wrote: in the two years since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, it has become clear that the foreign policy of the Biden administration is leading to the escalation of the armed conflict instead of promoting peace. Joe Biden's commitment to war is shown by the fact that the American legislature,
Republican members of Congress have been blocking further military aid to Ukraine for months, and Biden continues to arm Ukraine using legal loopholes.
For this reason, the domestic public sees Donald Trump instead of Joe Biden as the guarantee of ending the war conflict as soon as possible, according to the poll.
The results of the research also show that Hungarians would consider Donald Trump (51 percent) as president of the USA to be a better NATO ally for ending the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine than Joe Biden (30 percent), as well as in terms of preserving the peace and security of our country. In the announcement, they also pointed out that due to its membership in NATO, its geographical location, and its historical experience, Hungary's primary interest is to prevent the spread of war and to avoid involvement in war.
An evening with President Trump
In his speech at the reception following the trial, Trump said that "No one is better, smarter or a better leader than Viktor Orbán, he is fantastic, who, as you know, is the prime minister of Hungary, who is doing a fantastic job.
He is not a controversial figure, because if he says it will be, it will be."
Trump joked. He added, “He's the boss. He is a great leader, a fantastic leader, respected in Europe and around the world."
"It's an honor to have you here with us, Viktor. Very honourable. Thanks!"
Trump said.
