A mayor in Hungary has boasted that a new 10ft razor-wire electric border fence has protected his country from mass immigration - and hopes it will 'inspire' the US.
László Toroczkai insists the 100-mile fence, erected during the 2015 migrant crisis in Europe, had 'saved' his town - Ásotthalom - on Hungary's border with Serbia.
The far-right mayor claims the two parallel barriers - guarded by soldiers, thermal cameras and 3,000 'border hunters' - has restored 'calmness' in the rural community which had been in the path of a wave of refugees moving north through the continent three years ago.
Toroczkai, who is bidding for leadership of the ultra-nationalist Jobbik movement, believes US President Donald Trump should be encouraged by Hungary's hard line stance and insisted: 'I hope it inspires the Americans.'
