Donald Trump pledged not to criticize governments on human rights at a conference in Saudi Arabia. The latest US government human rights report reflects this, softening its stance against nations allied with Trump while intensifying criticism of European allies. Notably, Hungary and El Salvador receive diminished criticism, despite previous reports highlighting deteriorating human rights conditions. Warnings from EU lawmakers and activists in these countries indicate increasing authoritarianism and threats to civil liberties, as leaders Orban and Bukele align themselves with Trump's administration and its policies.
The US government's annual human rights report softens criticism of nations that align with Trump, while highlighting significant abuses among traditional European allies.
Claims of no credible human rights abuses in Hungary and El Salvador contrast sharply with previous criticisms from the state department highlighting serious issues.
