This occured after the influential financial speculator attacked Hungary's democratically elected government, labeling it a "mafia state".
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in Budapest on Sunday, where he was welcomed at Liszt Ferenc International Airport by Levente Magyar, parliamentary state secretary at the foreign ministry.
Viktor Orbán was given a rare opportunity in 2010. He won a supermajority in parliament, giving him a strong mandate to put Hungary on a path to development. He also received external assistance for this. The global economy boomed in the 2010s, and Hungary received an unprecedented amount of funding from the European Union, on a scale unseen in over a century.
Thanks to the good personal relationship between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, "it is truly no exaggeration to say" that a "golden age" has dawned in Hungary-US relations, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at a joint press conference with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Budapest.
In 2025, Hungary was once again ranked at the bottom of the European Union, sharing last place with Bulgaria this time, according to the annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) compiled by the Secretariat of Transparency International in Berlin.
