Both houses of the United States Congress, and both political parties in the United States, have once again made clear that America will deliver on our commitment to stand with Ukraine as it stands up to Putin’s brutal war. (1/2)

An extraordinary Seder last night with Hungarians from multiple faiths, political perspectives, and backgrounds. A rich discussion reflecting on slavery and freedom – and what the lessons of Passover mean for the “war, migration & gender” politics in Hungary. Chag Pesach Sameach!

On this day in 1944, Hungary forced Hungarian Jews into a ghetto. On this Day of Remembrance, we remember what happened, and we remember how it happened. “Never again” is not an incantation, it is a call to action. It is a commitment to always stand up to discrimination and hate.

The Hungarian language may be difficult, but the beauty of Hungarian poetry is easy to appreciate!
Happy Day of Hungarian Poetry!

Wonderful to celebrate the Roma community in Hungary on International Roma Day at the UCCU Roma Foundation. Moving performances, by the young and old, celebrating what brings us together.

When I arrived in Hungary, I said that if my son can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under 30 seconds – one of the world’s most difficult and enduring puzzles – then certainly the US and Hungary can work through whatever difficulties we might share. 1/3

Hungary’s next generation has a lot to say about their country, their world, and their future. Important that we listen to them. A privilege to host another group of leading musicians, athletes, artists, entrepreneurs, influencers for an open and illuminating conversation.

Sweden’s accession to NATO will strengthen the security of the United States, of Hungary, and the entire Transatlantic Alliance. Sweden has been ready to join the Alliance for almost two years. We look forward to welcoming them into the Alliance without further delay.

When brave Ukrainian soldiers first began liberating their cities from Russian occupation, they peeled back Russian propaganda posters to reveal the enduring image and words of their great national poet Taras Shevchenko, Ukraine’s Sándor Petőfi.

Fifteen years ago, amidst a horrific wave of attacks on Roma settlements across Hungary, five-year-old Robika Csorba and his father Robert were murdered. Hate may have killed Robika & Robert, but their memory continues to be a call to action. On the anniversary of the murders in…

Spent the day with U.S. and Hungarian special forces. As a member of NATO, Hungary benefits from cutting edge defense equipment and expertise. The Alliance makes Hungary safer than it has ever been. Sweden’s accession to NATO will make the Alliance stronger than it has ever been.

Wheels down in Budapest. Our bipartisan delegation is here to push for Hungary to stop blocking Sweden’s accession to NATO. First stop is a meeting with our great Ambassador David Pressman.

Regrettably, a range of senior Hungarian government officials and Fidesz parliamentary representatives declined to meet with the most senior U.S. bipartisan congressional delegation to visit Hungary in years. (2/2)

Allies have been awaiting Hungary’s action on Sweden’s accession to NATO for 21 months. Valuable discussion between members of various political parties in Parliament and a distinguished bipartisan delegation from the United States Senate. (1/2)

Important discussion between a bipartisan group of senior U.S. senators and a cross-section of Hungarian civil society organizations and experts.
