Europe will need to rethink its support of Ukraine if Donald Trump is elected president of the United States, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Sunday, as the continent "will not be able to bear the burdens of the war alone".

Orban opposes military aid to Ukraine and has made clear he thinks Trump shares his views and would negotiate a peace settlement for Ukraine.

He backs former president Trump, the Republican candidate, to beat Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in Tuesday's US&nbsp;election.

"We (in Europe) need to realize that if there will be a pro-peace president in America, which I not only believe in but I also read the numbers that way, ... if what we expect happens and America becomes pro-peace, then Europe cannot remain pro-war," Orban said.

Ukraine will be high on the agenda when European leaders meet in Budapest in the coming week, he said, referring to a European Political Community meeting and a more informal meeting of EU leaders due to take place.

"Europe cannot bear the burden of [the war] alone, and if Americans switch to peace, then we also need to adapt, and this is what we will discuss in Budapest," Orban said.

Europe is jittery about how the outcome of the US&nbsp;election will affect the war in Ukraine and the continent's security.

Orban has angered Brussels with his close ties to Russia and opposition to aid for Ukraine.

Hungary's foreign minister Peter Szijjarto said in July that the Hungarian government sees Trump as a "chance for peace" in Ukraine.

In July, Orban said his team was assisting Trump's aides with policies on families and migration. On Thursday, he called Trump to wish him good luck ahead of Tuesday's election.

US election: Europe will need to rethink its support to Ukraine if Trump wins, says Hungary PM

Former United States (US) first lady Michelle Obama on Saturday (Nov 2) called Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump a 'con man' who posed a real danger to the country.

Former United States (US) first lady Michelle Obama on Saturday (Nov 2) called Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump a 'con man' who posed a real danger to the country. Obama, who is backing Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, addressed a rally in Norristown where she took a veiled dig at Trump, a report by CNN said.

'If this election goes the wrong way...' Without naming Trump, Michelle Obama said on Saturday, "If this election goes the wrong way, this, this backward vision of America being spewed by Kamala’s opponent, it will infect all of our lives no matter how old we are." “And if we fail, it will happen quickly, in concrete ways — large and small — from dismantling the Department of Education to gutting the women’s health system to prioritizing those at the top over everybody else,” Michelle added. She described Trump, without naming him, as “a more skilled con man who is more brazen and bombastic.” Trump calls Michelle 'nasty' The former first lady's veiled dig at Trump came days after the Republican presidential candidate called her 'nasty'. Addressing a rally in Atlanta on Monday, Trump told supporters, "You know who's nasty to me? Michelle Obama."

Trump's remark against Obama came days after she severely criticised him. "I hope you'll forgive me that I'm a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Trump's gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn," the former first lady said at a rally in Michigan's Kalamazoo, urging any undecided voters to "snap out of whatever fog they're in."

US presidential polls | ‘If this election goes the wrong way...’: Michelle Obama’s veiled dig at Trump

Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump head to North Carolina on Saturday to try to clinch support in the southeastern battleground state just three days before Tuesday's US presidential election.

It will be the fourth day in a row that Vice President Harris and former President Trump visit the same state on the same day, underlining the critical importance of the seven states likely to decide the race, which opinion polls show to be on a knife's edge.

More than 70 million Americans have already cast ballots, according to the Election Lab at the University of Florida, below the record early-voting pace in 2020 during COVID-19, but still indicating a high level of voter enthusiasm.

Saturday also marks the last day of early voting in North Carolina, where over 3.8 million votes have been cast, while the state's western reaches are still recovering from Hurricane Helene's deadly flooding.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-hints-at-key-roles-for-elon-musk-rfk-jr-if-he-wins-claims-only-cheating-would-cause-election-loss-772540">Also read:&nbsp;Trump hints at key roles for Elon Musk, RFK Jr. if he wins; claims only ‘cheating’ would cause election loss</a>

Harris plans appearances with rock star Jon Bon Jovi in Charlotte, the biggest city in North Carolina, which is tied with Georgia for the second-biggest prize of the swing states. Each has 16 votes in the Electoral College, where 270 are needed to secure the presidency.

North Carolina backed Trump in 2020 by a narrow margin of less than 1.5 percentage points, and elected a Democratic governor on the same day, giving hope to both parties.

"It is my plan and intention to continue to invest in American manufacturing, the work being done by American workers, upholding and lifting up good union jobs," Harris said Saturday morning in Wisconsin, as she left for North Carolina. "That is the way we are going to win the competition with China for the 21st century."

Trump will hold a rally in Gastonia, west of Charlotte, at noon (1600 GMT) before returning to the state in the evening, where he is due to speak at the 22,000-seat First Horizon Coliseum arena in Greensboro.

"This election is a choice between whether we...have four more years of gross incompetence and failure, or whether we will begin the four greatest years in the history of our country," Trump told a crowd in Michigan on Friday.

<h2>Policy differences</h2>

Harris and Trump have very different policies on major issues including support for Ukraine and NATO, abortion rights, immigration, taxes, democratic principles and tariffs, which reflect the schisms between the Democratic and Republican parties.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said Friday that if Trump wins and Republicans control Congress, his party would "probably" repeal the CHIPS Act, passed under Joe Biden's administration, which gave over $50 billion in subsidies to companies for semiconductor chip manufacturing and research in the United States.

Democrats have seized on the remarks. "It is further evidence of everything I've actually been talking about for months now, about Trump's intention to implement project 2025," Harris said Saturday, referring to a conservative blueprint to remake US government and policies that was written with the help of many of Trump's closest advisers.

Johnson walked back his remarks later on Friday, saying the act would be streamlined to eliminate regulations.

Harris and Trump were both in North Carolina on Wednesday, Nevada on Thursday and Wisconsin on Friday - all battleground states - at one point holding events around 7 miles (11 km) from each other.

It indicates the enormous effort put on persuading a relatively small number of voters in a few states because the other states are seen as safely Democratic or Republican.

But Trump will also visit Salem, Virginia, on Saturday despite polls showing a clear lead there for Harris.

Harris will also be in the swing state of Georgia on Saturday, where film director Spike Lee and singer Victoria Monet are due to speak at a rally.

President Biden, a Democrat, won Georgia by just 0.3 percentage points in 2020, the first time his party had picked up the state since Bill Clinton in 1992.

Democrats will be heavily reliant on Black voters turning out and backing Harris if they want to recreate Biden's success in a state where Black people make up just over 12 per cent of the population.

Hispanics, who total nearly 19 per cent of Georgia's population, are also being fought over. Trump holds a narrow 1.6 percentage-point lead over Harris in the state, according to the polling average from FiveThirtyEight.

Heading into the final stretch, on Monday the Harris campaign plans to hold simultaneous interconnected organizing events across all seven battleground states to mobilize voters, according to a senior campaign official.

Officials at the White House altered the official transcript of a call in which outgoing United States (US) President Joe Biden appeared to take a swipe at supporters of Donald Trump, drawing objections from the federal workers who document such remarks for posterity, the news agency Associated Press reported on Thursday (Oct 31) citing sources.

Officials at the White House altered the official transcript of a call in which outgoing United States (US) President Joe Biden appeared to take a swipe at supporters of Donald Trump, drawing objections from the federal workers who document such remarks for posterity, the news agency Associated Press reported on Thursday (Oct 31) citing sources. President Biden created an uproar earlier this week with his remarks to Latino activists responding to racist comments at a Trump rally made by the comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who referred to the US island territory of Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.” Biden, according to a transcript prepared by the official White House stenographers, told the Latino group on a Tuesday evening video call, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters — his — his demonisation of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.” The missing apostrophe that led to the uproar According to the Associated Press report, the transcript released by the White House office, however, rendered the quote with an apostrophe, reading “supporter’s” rather than “supporters,” which aides said pointed to Biden criticising Hinchcliffe, not the millions of Americans who were supporting Trump for president. Also read | 'You are not garbage': Trump rides garbage truck in uniform for supporters at rally in jibe to Biden's remarks The change was made after the press office “conferred with the president,” according to an internal email from the head of the stenographers’ office that was obtained by the news agency. The supervisor, in the email, called the press office’s handling of the matter “a breach of protocol and spoliation of transcript integrity between the Stenography and Press Offices.” The supervisor said that if there was a difference in "interpretation, the Press Office may choose to withhold the transcript but cannot edit it independently." “Our Stenography Office transcript — released to our distro, which includes the National Archives — is now different than the version edited and released to the public by Press Office staff,” the supervisor added. The edit of the transcript came as the White House scrambled to respond to a wave of queries from reporters about Biden’s comments. Vice President and current Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris distanced herself from Biden’s comments. 'We are not garbage' Supporters of Donald Trump rejected the remarks made by Biden. "We're not garbage, we're not trash. We're the American people," said Heather Johnson outside a Trump rally venue in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.

Don't know what this campaign feels it has to go so negative against an entire population at this point even the polls say that's half of America," Johnson told the news agency Reuters. Another Trump supporter Chad Solomon said, "I believe everything that basically Biden says is garbage himself, as well as Kamala Harris, and I mean that with a straight face. I mean what he's trying to implement the past four years was inflation, the border crisis, foreign affairs is a mess. and it's been ridiculous." (With inputs from agencies)
