US politician Kari Lake stands by Hungary over visa fiasco

The Center for Fundamental Rights said on Tuesday that American politician Kari Lake, who was the big draw at this year’s CPAC Hungary conference, is supporting Hungary in connection with “foul” visa sanctions the Biden administration has imposed on Hungary. The Hungarian think-tank said in a statement that Lake was among “the most vocal American supporters of peace” and had stood by Hungary in the face of “Joe Biden’s ideologically based attacks … devoid of rationality or legal grounds”. On its Facebook page, the think-tank quoted Kari Lake as saying: “Hungary won’t help Joe Biden escalate the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, so Biden is weaponizing our visa waiver program against them.”
