This document is a Washington Post opinion article by Heather A. Conley and Charles Gati, marked as a House Oversight exhibit. It criticizes the Trump administration's 'pivot' to appeasing Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, highlighted by visits from Stephen Bannon and Assistant Secretary of State A. Wess Mitchell to Budapest in May. The authors contrast this 'accommodation' with the tougher stances taken by the Bush and Obama administrations regarding Orban's authoritarianism and anti-democratic actions.
