Viktor Orban made his loyalties clear when he landed in Georgia this week. As protesters disputed an election victory for its pro-Russian leadership, Hungary’s prime minister congratulated the country for choosing not to become the next Ukraine.

A win for his ally Donald Trump on Tuesday could make Orban the go-to person in Europe for the next US president, according to a person familiar with the thinking in Budapest. And with Russia’s war in Ukraine, Europe’s security and trade relations with China all in flux, Orban is relishing that prospect.

Daylight saving time ends in the US at 2 am local time on Sunday, giving residents an extra hour of sleep. Clocks should be set back an hour before going to bed.

Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump ramped up their presidential campaigns in Wisconsin, a crucial battleground state. At the campaign event, Harris targeted Trump's economic record, specifically his handling of manufacturing jobs. She further claimed that nearly 2,00,000 manufacturing jobs were lost during Trump's presidency before the Covid-19 pandemic, with thousands of those losses felt in Wisconsin alone. She also labelled «Trump one of the biggest losers of manufacturing jobs in American history.» Addressing the campaign, Harris said, «He (Donald Trump) said that he was the only one who could bring back America's manufacturing jobs.
