00:01Two days after Hungary's seismic election, which ended Viktor Orbán's 16 years in power in Hungary,
00:09parts of Europe's far right are beginning to question the value of endorsements from US President Donald Trump and US
00:15Vice President J.D. Vence.
00:18That reassessment reflects a broader concern.
00:21Trump's rhetoric and unpredictable geopolitical agenda are increasingly seen as a liability rather than an asset for his political lies
00:30across the Atlantic,
00:32especially close partners such as Orbán's Fidesz party.
00:36One of the key reasons for the far right's distancing from Trump is the ongoing war involving Iran.
00:43Many in Europe blame the US strike on Tehran for rising energy prices in Europe, which are already affecting consumers
00:50purchasing power.
00:52Another reason for that distancing is that support for far right positions on issues such as immigration
00:58does not necessarily translate into support for the Trump administration.
