00:00 Donald Trump recently had some warm words for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban,
00:04 though he briefly seemed to forget what country he's from.
00:07 The former president was speaking in Derry, New Hampshire.
00:09 "I was very honored as a man.
00:12 Viktor Orban, anyone ever hear of him?
00:14 He's probably like one of the strongest leaders anywhere in the world.
00:20 He's the leader of Turkey.
00:23 Fronts on both Russia."
00:24 Orban is again the Prime Minister of Hungary.
00:27 Turkey is led by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
00:30 Neither country borders Russia.
00:31 But Trump seemed to correct himself a moment later.
00:34 "But Viktor Orban, and he's the head of Hungary and he runs it tough.
00:40 Let me tell you, he runs it properly.
00:41 He runs it strong.
00:42 They said, 'What do you recommend for Joe Biden if you could tell him anything?'
00:47 I tell him to resign and let Trump become president."
00:51 It wasn't clear whether this was a direct quote.
00:53 Orban has expressed his support for Trump in 2024.
00:56 But according to CNBC, while speaking at Bloomberg's Qatar Economic Forum, he also said, "It is
01:01 not my job to criticize the head of the United States.
01:04 It is not a good business idea anyway."
