BUDAPEST, November 6. /TASS/. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban congratulated Republican contender Donald Trump on his victory in the US presidential election, saying this outcome will benefit the world.

"The biggest comeback in US political history! Congratulations to President Donald Trump on his enormous win. A much needed victory for the World!" he wrote on X.

Orban openly supported Trump in the US bipartisan struggle and made no secret that he was counting on his return to the White House. On October 31, the Hungarian prime minister, as he spoke by phone with the former US president, wished him victory in the November 5 election.

Earlier, the Hungarian government repeatedly said that Trump's possible return to the presidency would bring hopes for improved bilateral relations and the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. Trump pledged to address the Ukrainian problem if he won the election.
