Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will visit Hungary next week, the White House said, as the United States seeks to build ties with nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban following rifts.
US national security adviser John Bolton said he met at the White House with Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto and discussed "defense cooperation, energy diversity, confronting Russian malign influence and maintaining our ironclad commitment to NATO."
Pompeo is visiting as Orban faces a wave of street protests that began with a controversial reform of workers' overtime hours which the opposition has called a "slave law."
