Vance slams EU ‘interference’ and Ukrainian spies in key Hungary visit | 7 April 2026 | U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has met with Viktor Orban in Budapest in a high-profile visit ahead of a critical parliamentary election. The Hungarian prime minister’s party is trailing that of his pro-EU opponent in the polls, and he has accused Brussels of interfering in the vote. Vance touched down in Budapest on Tuesday, where he was greeted by Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto. In a short clip published on social media, Szijjarto hailed the visit as a sign of “a golden age for Hungarian-American relations.” Peter Magyar’s pro-EU Tisza Party officials, Ukrainian and EU spies, and opposition journalists have all been accused of meddling in the election, with a wiretapping plot against Szijjarto exposed last month, and Ukraine cutting off Russian oil supplies to Hungary.
