Hungary seeks US staff cuts and consular closure
Hungary asked the United States to reduce the legation by about 70 American diplomats military personnel and civilian clerks claiming the size is excessive and spy-like. Washington rejected the charge as improper and irrelevant and kept a firm stance on travel restrictions and consulate operations while Budapest pushed to close Hungarian consulates in New York and Cleveland. The US stated consular offices would stay closed as Budapest could not protect Americans, while Budapest claimed many local US staff were politically labeled by Communists. The note asserted the United States would continue adjusting legation staffing based on its needs, and would not tolerate Hungary's stance, complicating normal relations between the two governments.
