Pete Marocco, a State Department official, has been working on dismantling U.S. foreign aid architecture. Notably, he met with a Hungarian government official where he pledged to cease aid programs that could interfere with Hungary’s internal affairs. This aligns with Viktor Orban's efforts against U.S. aid directed at pro-democracy initiatives in Hungary. Orban later announced those receiving American aid would be labeled illegal agents, showcasing a striking collaboration between the U.S. and Hungary that undermines democratic principles and reinforces authoritarian rule.
During a meeting, Pete Marocco pledged to halt U.S. aid programs interfering in Hungary's internal matters, echoing Trump administration goals and Viktor Orban's ambitions.
Orban commended the Trump administration's efforts to dismantle U.S. aid, calling it a cleansing wind, reflecting a deepening alliance that undermines democracy in Hungary.
