The Biden Administration Turned a Blind Eye to the 95 million Persecuted Nigerian Christians
Biden administration not only forgot about persecuted Christian communities, but also denied the fact that there was religious persecution in Nigeria.

The Geneva Consensus Declaration Secretariat has returned to Washington after three and a half years in Budapest, with Robert F Kennedy Jr and Marco Rubio publicly thanking Hungary for its stewardship. Since 2022, Viktor Orbán’s government has kept the coalition alive after the US withdrew under Joe Biden and Brazil later abandoned it under Lula, preserving the initiative until Trump’s return.
Viktor Orbán will travel to Washington on 7 November to meet Donald Trump, seeking to strengthen Hungarian–American relations through a new strategic economic cooperation package. In a video statement, the prime minister said politically driven sanctions imposed under Joe Biden had been removed, paving the way for closer bilateral ties.
Hungarians will soon enjoy full visa-free travel to the United States again, after President Trump’s administration reversed restrictions imposed under Joe Biden. US Chargé d’Affaires Robert Palladino announced that from 30 September, ESTA approvals will be valid for two years, allow multiple entries, and cover all Hungarian citizens.
Senior US diplomat Robert Palladino will assume leadership of the US Embassy in Budapest as Chargé d’Affaires from 7 March. However, as stated in the embassy’s announcement, Palladino’s mandate is temporary, leaving the race open for the successor to former US Ambassador David Pressman—who will face the enormous task of repairing US–Hungary relations, which were severely damaged by Joe Biden’s envoy.
Western European leaders were quick to rally behind Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after Donald Trump called him a dictator. However, those same leaders remained completely silent when, almost exactly one year ago, former US President Joe Biden accused Viktor Orbán of building a dictatorship in Hungary
Despite the end of the Democratic administration in the US and the departure of Joe Biden’s controversial ambassador to Hungary, the interference in Hungarian domestic affairs continues. On the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration, the US Embassy in Budapest awarded millions of Hungarian forint in grants to opposition-aligned media outlets.
‘The question of what a Harris administration’s foreign policy would be is rather like asking a cat its views on quantum mechanics: you’re unlikely to get much clarity. There’s been a rather large absence of any discernible worldview to distinguish her from her boss, Joe Biden. Indeed, one might say her foreign policy is as elusive as the Hungarian summer—everyone has vague expectations, but no one is quite sure what it’ll look like when it finally arrives.’
Kamala Harris, known for struggling in unscripted appearances, recently labelled Viktor Orbán, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping as dictators and murderers on a late-night show. This extreme rhetoric is unfortunately common among Democrats, with Joe Biden previously making similar remarks about the Hungarian Prime Minister.
Most pollsters did a lousy job in 2020 in the United States, most often overestimating the popularity of Joe Biden. This year polls have claimed a Kamala Harris surge since Biden withdrew from the race, with many conservatives now fearing that Trump may be defeated after all by the clearly incompetent, but allegedly popular Democratic candidate. But the numbers recorded in the five battleground states that decided the last election seem to suggest otherwise.
At a time when public debate is increasingly polarized and superficial, Hungarian Conservative remains committed to depth and independent thought.
