Orban in the United States met with Donald Trump and Ilon Musk

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Monday, December 9, met with US President-elect Donald Trump and entrepreneur Ilon Musk at the Mar-a-Lago estate in the state of Florida.

"A day at Mar-a-Lago with Donald Trump and Ilon Musk," Orban wrote on his Facebook page (banned in Russia, owned by Meta Corporation, recognized as extremist in Russia).

To the record, the Hungarian prime minister added a joint photo with Trump in his estate in the state of Florida.

Earlier, on December 4, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said that Hungary had asked the United States to make an exception to sanctions against Gazprombank for payments for gas from Russia. According to him, he discussed the topic with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on the margins of a meeting of NATO diplomatic chiefs in Brussels. The diplomat noted that such an exception can not be called unusual, because several Russian banks have it to pay for uranium supplies to the United States.

Before that, on November 15, Orban said that the economic path of Europe is comparable to suicide. Thus, the result of the conflict in Ukraine, according to the politician, are problems with the Hungarian economy. In his opinion, the introduction of sanctions against Russia, imposed by Brussels, was wrong. Orban noted that the imposed restrictions led to an increase in energy prices, which caused inflation in the country. At the same time, European countries do not have enough money to finance the conflict.

On November 7, the Hungarian prime minister also said that after Donald Trump won the US presidential election, the EU had doubts about continuing to finance Ukraine.
