Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban, a staunch supporter of Donald Trump, today welcomed the first results of the US presidential election, as the Republican candidate looks set to win.

“On the way to a beautiful victory,” Orban wrote on his Facebook page today, accompanying the post with a photo of him in front of a TV screen broadcasting the US vote count.

The nationalist Hungarian prime minister has made no secret of his admiration for his “friend” Donald Trump, with whom he has met twice this year.
