The risk of igniting a hot war with the Soviet Union presented a great risk, versus relatively little benefit if the Hungarian Revolt were to succeed.

He was unable to do anything to support their revolt
During the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower expressed moral support for the Hungarian people's desire for freedom from Soviet control. However, he stopped short of providing direct military assistance or intervention, largely due to the fear of escalating tensions with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Instead, the U.S. offered limited support through propaganda and the encouragement of uprisings in Eastern Europe, but ultimately, the Soviet military crushed the revolt without significant American intervention. Eisenhower's administration faced criticism for not doing more to help the Hungarian freedom fighters.

The Hungarian Revolt in 1956.
severe oppression of Hungarian life by the Russians since 1945
The Soviet Union just sent more troops and tanks
when hungarians revolted as they hated cruel leader Rakosi, spurred on by de-stalinasation and trying to rid of the communists and secret police that were on the streets, controlling their country. They demaned the truth, freedom of speech, and decent people's rights.
The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 (Hungarian: 1956-os forradalom) was a spontaneous nationwide revolt against the government of the People's Republic of Hungary and its Soviet-imposed policies, lasting from 23 October until 10 November 1956. Soviet Union crushed the revolt. However the Hungarian Communist Party eased its own rule later on in order not to risk more trouble and Hungary therefore became the weak link in the communist chain when things started to go to pieces for the Eastern Bloc at the end of the 1980s.
