US backs Europe as Hungary shifts stance
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reassured European leaders recently. He said the Trump administration backs the alliance with Europe.
Rubio is scheduled to visit Hungary on Sunday. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban said the European Union is a bigger threat than Russia.
Orban faces elections before April. Trump endorsed Orban this week. Rubio's visit shows US engagement with European allies.
Klear Note — Hungary is a European Union member but often clashes with EU policies. Orban faces reelection soon, making his statements about EU threats politically significant.
