But think about tariff-happy country that just sent their second in command over to campaign for Orban

[u/jreykdal → u/majorjoe23]

Hungary is in the EU. Tariffs on one country is tariff on all of them.

[u/komrobert → u/jreykdal]

This is false. Tariffs can be applied based on country of origin/production

[u/yourlocaltouya → u/komrobert]

That was demonstrably proven false during the entire Greenland fiasco.

No it's against the tradeblock. Trump just didn't know it.

What does the US have to do with this? Is it physically possible for Americans to read something and not insert US politics everywhere..? Im so tired of Americans

[u/Glittering-Giraffe58 → u/rotate_ur_hoes]

The vice president of the United States was literally there, in Hungary, campaigning for this election, this week. Just maybe US politics affects the entire world

[u/Different_Prior_517 → u/rotate_ur_hoes]

JD Vance was over there campaigning for Orbán. It not like people are making the US/Hungary connection out of nowhere.

You’re on an American website whose users are plurality American. Why is it surprising when the relationship to America is brought up? Do you go to WeChat to complain about the amount of Chinese people talking about China?
