Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has slammed the Biden administration for “lecturing” Hungary on human rights and democracy
Szijjártó said that the Biden administration should focus on its own problems, such as racism and gun violence, before criticizing other countries.
Szijjártó’s comments come after the Biden administration has repeatedly criticized Hungary’s human rights record and its democratic backsliding.
The Biden administration has also imposed sanctions on Hungarian officials for their role in human rights abuses.
Szijjártó’s comments are a sign of the growing tensions between Hungary and the United States.
The two countries have been at odds over a number of issues in recent years, including Hungary’s relations with Russia, its judicial reforms, and its treatment of refugees.
The tensions between Hungary and the United States are part of a wider trend of rising tensions between the United States and its allies in Europe.
The United States has been critical of a number of European countries for their policies on migration, trade, and security.
The tensions between the United States and its European allies are a major challenge for the Biden administration.
The Biden administration needs to find a way to bridge the divide with its allies, or it risks weakening the transatlantic alliance.
