Trump's reelection may shift US diplomacy toward authoritarian leaders
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban believes Donald Trump's reelection will bolster his efforts against immigration and multiculturalism. He predicts a shift toward pro-peace political forces in the West, aligning with Trump's populist approach. Trump's second term may lead to a realignment in U.S. diplomacy, favoring authoritarian leaders like Orban, India's Narendra Modi, and Argentina's Javier Milei. These leaders share populist ideologies and have faced criticism for undermining democratic values. Milei, who congratulated Trump on his victory, hopes for U.S. support from the International Monetary Fund to stabilize Argentina's economy. Analysts express concern that Trump's presidency could pressure democratic institutions in countries like Argentina and Slovakia.
