European political leaders have expressed strong support for former U.S. President Donald Trump following his historic conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini labeled the conviction as “judicial harassment” and likened it to the weaponization of the justice system by political opponents, a scenario he claims is familiar in Italy. Salvini emphasized his hope for a Trump victory, suggesting it would ensure greater global stability and peace.

Hungarian President Viktor Orbán also voiced his support, calling Trump a “man of honor” who prioritized America and commanded international respect during his presidency. Orbán urged Trump to continue his fight for the presidency, expressing confidence that the American people would deliver their verdict in the upcoming election.
Russia echoed these sentiments, suggesting a political conspiracy behind Trump’s conviction. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov described the legal proceedings as an obvious attempt to eliminate political rivals through both legal and illegal means.
