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. The trip to Tbilisi was a bold move, even for a leader who has made no secret of his coziness with Russia and disregard for the European Union.

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.

That makes Donald Trump one of the biggest losers of manufacturing jobs in American history.»
