I’m shocked and saddened by the shooting at former President Trump’s rally and grateful that he is safe. As President Biden said, there is no place for political violence in America and we must all condemn it.

I stopped by the Budapest airport to meet and bid farewell to the newest cohort of Hungarian high school students selected to spend one year studying in the United States. It is hard to describe how inspiring these students are, or how thrilled we are to have the opportunity to

School has started for kids across Hungary, including my own. Best of luck to every student, teacher, and parent in this new school year. Hungary’s future, and our shared future, relies on each of you.
