The right-wing think tank Center for Fundamental Rights held a conference titled ‘Peace Through Strength — The World Aligns with Trump and Hungary’ at the Lónyay–Hatvany Villa in Budapest, Hungary on 28 February. As the name suggests, the event was dedicated to the celebration of the new dominant foreign policy approach, which returned to the White House with President Trump’s victory last November.

Director General of the Center Miklós Szánthó was the first to greet the attendees and the illustrious guests gathered. He started by proclaiming that ‘There is a new world, there is a new situation,’ and that the political GPS is right now telling the driver ‘global reset’ with President Trump back at the helm. US–Hungary relations, meanwhile, are better than they have ever been, according to Mr Szánthó.

The Hungarian leadership backed the POTUS even when many in his own party turned against him, the speaker noted. ‘Strong leaders not only create peace, but also have mutual respect for each other,’ he added, referring to the close relations between Prime Minister Orbán and President Trump. He also welcomed the fact that incumbent Vice President of the United States JD Vance openly stated at the recently held CPAC 2025 in the US that he is a practising Christian, as a sign of the changing times.
