Trump, Orbán Confirm Controversial Political Deal Amid EU Criticism

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán praised President Donald Trump for securing a more favorable U.S.-U.K. trade deal compared to the European Union's agreement, criticizing the EU's leadership and bureaucratic inefficiencies. Orbán and Hungary's Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó suggested that the EU needs new leadership, highlighting the bloc's struggles with energy policy and internal divisions. Additionally, a poll by NewsBusters named ABC's Sunny Hostin as having the worst media take of the week for claiming CBS's cancellation of Stephen Colbert's show was a threat to democracy, with Alan Cumming and CBS reporter Scott MacFarlane rounding out the top three. The media criticism reflects ongoing tensions around political discourse and media bias in the U.S. These developments underscore the continued influence of President Trump internationally and the contentious media environment domestically.
