Former President Donald Trump's relationship with authoritarian leaders around the world has come under scrutiny, particularly his recent endorsement by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Orban's public support for Trump has raised concerns about interference in foreign elections and highlighted Trump's connections with leaders like Vladimir Putin.
In the aftermath of Putin critic Alexei Navalny's death, Trump's silence on the matter has drawn criticism. Former National Security Advisor John Bolton expressed his concerns in an op-ed, stating that Putin's actions indicate a sense of confidence and control.
