Proposed U. S. - Hungarian Collective Security Goals for Future Regional Stability

The election of President Donald Trump to a second term presents an opportunity to the United States and Hungary to reorient their bilateral relationship towards issues concerning mutual interests in regional security policy. The affected sectors of energy, industry, telecommunications, and business all stand to gain from future policy proposals. Previously, these affairs faced obstacles and challenges resulting from punitive measures enacted by the Biden administration such as expired tax treaties, the current chaotic nature of the Russo-Ukraine War, and a degradation in the tone of public diplomacy which led to estrangement between Washington and Budapest. With the advent of a second Trump administration however, the strong personal relationship between the U.S. and Hungarian heads of state offers potential for the development of policies that ensure the interests of both nations are addressed.
