Trump vows to boost Hungary economy if Orban wins vote [View all]

US President Donald Trump made a late intervention in Hungary's bitter election campaign on Friday, as nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban battles for votes against a pro-European opponent leading him in polls.

Trump vowed to bring US "economic might" to Hungary if Orban's party secures a victory over his arch-rival Peter Magyar in Sunday's election.

The comments added late drama to the campaign finale that saw Orban and Magyar trade accusations of dirty dealing.

Orban, who has run Hungary for 16 years and is close to Trump and Russia's President Vladimir Putin, faces an unprecedented challenge with opinion polls putting Magyar's conservative Tisza party well ahead.

Hungary and Argentina are two countries the GOP wants America to be more like.
