The late Hungarian-American historian John Lukacs highlighted the growing distance between America and Eastern Europe, particularly noting the lack of coverage on Hungary in American media.
Hungary has become a subject of heated debate in Washington, with accusations of democratic backsliding under PM Viktor Orban and associations with authoritarianism and alignment with Putin.
The US foreign policy establishment has shifted towards a new Cold War Culture War, abandoning traditional diplomatic roles to engage in picking foreign government winners and losers.
Hungary's political landscape, under Orban's leadership, is being viewed both critically by American liberals for democratic issues and somewhat favorably by segments on the American Right.
