00:00U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the U.S. is committed to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's success,
00:07calling his leadership important to U.S. national interests ahead of Hungary's tightly contested April election.
00:13His remarks come as he began the Budapest Lake of his Central Europe tour, vowing to deepen cooperation with the
00:21region.
00:21Rubio said U.S. ties with Hungary were entering a golden era,
00:26but appeared to make that conditional on the continuation of Orbán's leadership.
00:31The two countries also signed agreements on nuclear energy and broader oil and gas cooperation.
00:37Orbán has been a longtime Trump ally, though he frequently clashed with European allies due to his cordial ties with
00:45Russia.
00:46Orbán also said Hungary continues to back U.S.-led peace efforts in Ukraine and remains open to hosting a peace
00:53summit.
00:57Orbán is a supporter of advocates and proceeds to the U.S. için for its prime ministerial ties.
