JD Vance faced an awkward moment at a rally in Budapest when he attempted to call Donald Trump on speakerphone, only for the call to go straight to voicemail.
The vice president, 41, was addressing a crowd in Hungary on Tuesday (7 April) to bolster support for the re-election of far-right prime minister Viktor Orbán.
Vance told the crowd: “Before I started my remarks, I actually had a special guest that asked that I give him a phone call. Let’s hope he actually answers. This is going to be very embarrassing.”

The call then went straight to voicemail, leaving Vance flustered as he tried to call back. Trump eventually answered and endorsed Orbán, calling him a “fantastic man”.
