Biden Win Would Pose Problem for Central Europe's Populist Leaders

Jamie Dettmer

   FRANKFURT - Most European leaders are guarded in expressing who they'd
   prefer to see win the November U.S. presidential elections, but not
   Hungary's firebrand Prime Minister Viktor Orban, the populist bête
   noire of western Europe's leaders.
   In a characteristically outspoken article earlier this month in Magyar
   Nemzet, a conservative newspaper, Orban declared: "We are rooting for
   another victory for Donald Trump because we are very familiar with the
   foreign policy of U.S. Democratic administrations, built as it is on
   moral imperialism. We have tasted it -- albeit under duress. We didn't
   like it and we don't want a second helping." He described Trump as an
   ally in the battle against what he dubbed "loopy liberals."
