US President Donald Trump has claimed immigrants are “flooding” into Europe as he hailed Hungary’s far-right Viktor Orban.
Mr Trump made the comments while hosting the Hungarian Prime Minister at the White House in an apparent bid by Mr Orban to broker another summit between the US and Russia on the conflict in Ukraine.
“If you look at [Mr Orban’s] stance on immigration and other things, you know, if you look at Europe, they made tremendous mistakes in immigration,” the US President said. “It’s really hurting them very badly. He has not made a mistake on immigration.”
Hungary has refused to follow the orders of the European Court of Justice on admitting immigrants and has been forced to pay fines as a result.
