The new US State Department has new policies. Previously it spent $7.4 million in federal funds to support various Hungarian opposition parties’ election campaigns against the popular Christian government of Hungary.
State Department official Pete Marocco has pledged to immediately terminate all aid programs aimed at interfering in Hungary’s internal affairs or promoting migration in relation to Hungary. Additionally, the US administration indicated that after a comprehensive reassessment of US aid policy, it plans to restore Hungarian-American cooperation in assisting Iraqi Christians, a collaboration that existed during Trump’s first term in office. The Hungarian government developed the only official cabinet agency to assist persecuted Christians around the world, into which it has invested billions of Hungarian Forints.
Marocco called this policy "a model to follow."
“The decline of community in the modern world has as its inevitable religious consequence the creation of masses of helpless, bewildered individuals who are unable to find solace in Christianity regarded merely as creed.”

American diplomacy should continue to stand up for genuine democracy, freedom of expression, and unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history. America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism. Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory.
