European officials refute claim world leaders are mocking Trump, commend his "tough stance."

European foreign ministers who are close to the U.S. rejected Vice President Kamala Harris' assertion that world leaders are mocking former President Trump.

In the September presidential debate, Harris stated, "Military leaders who have worked with you say you're a disgrace, and world leaders are reportedly mocking Donald Trump."

Foreign ministers at the United Nations High-Level Week stated that they do not have a stance on the U.S. election and will collaborate with whoever is elected.

"Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani stated that Italy and the U.S. are "two sides of the same coin." He added that if Trump becomes the new president of America, Italy will continue to work with him as they did when he was previously president of America."

""Our foreign policy strategy is centered on transatlantic relations, with Europe and America," Tajani stated, adding that they had worked well with Biden, Bush, Reagan, Clinton, and Obama."

Lithuanian and Czech foreign ministers pledged not to influence the US election outcome by expressing a preference, opting instead to let American citizens make their own decision.

Jan Lipavsky, the Czech Foreign Minister, stated that his role does not involve commenting on political statements.

Trump's message of defense spending was praised by Lipavsky as "strong," and he hoped that Europe would maintain this stance against Russian aggression towards Ukraine.

According to Lipavsky, at the time, Donald Trump had a powerful message for Europe, which was to spend more on defense, and this message has become even more relevant now because it is still being emphasized.

"If Donald Trump were president with the message 'Please spend 2%,' we would be okay."

Gabrielius Landsbergis, Lithuania's Foreign Minister, emphasized the "prolonged past" shared by the two nations, asserting that their bond transcends "politics."

He emphasized the need for the winner of the election to prioritize the message of defense spending, as Trump did during his first term.

During the Trump administration, the number of NATO members who met their commitment to spend 2% of GDP on defense increased significantly due to Trump's pressure and tough stance on the issue.

In June, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated that 23 out of the 32 member states have met the minimum spending requirement, enhancing the bloc's capacity to aid Ukraine and possibly discourage Russian aggression beyond its present objectives.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó has stated that his government has "huge expectations" for a new Trump administration, making Hungary the only European nation to publicly support Trump's re-election.

As the longest-serving foreign minister in NATO with 10 years of experience, Szijjártó stated that we have high expectations because we believe that many of the major crises that cause us concern can be resolved by the administration of President Trump.

"Szijjártó stated that he did not observe anyone laughing at Trump, but rather many people were afraid of a U.S. president being honest, not being held hostage by the liberal mainstream, representing a patriotic position, and speaking clearly about America first."

Trump and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán have openly displayed their close bond, with Trump praising Orbán as a "strong man of Europe" and expressing admiration for his views on the former president.

Orbán demonstrated the mutual dynamic when he opted to depart the NATO summit in Washington, D.C., to meet with Trump in Mar-a-Lago in Florida to discuss foreign affairs.

"President Trump had everything under control, but since he left office, the global security situation has deteriorated, as Szijjártó stated."

"Based on our experience, we believe that President Trump would bring a new impetus, freshness, and dynamism to the U.S.-Hungary relationship. If President Trump is elected, we think the world has a good chance to become a more peaceful place compared to the current situation."
