“We are in continuous talks and will strike a good deal with the new US administration,” PM Orbán said in a Facebook post.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the European Union is facing “difficult months ahead” but “we have been aware that President Trump will return and have stood prepared”.
“We are in continuous talks and will strike a good deal with the new US administration,” PM Orbán said in a Facebook post.
Concerning the first EU summit since Donald Trump’s inauguration, held in Brussels on Monday, PM Orbán said: “It was a strange meeting. Everyone in Brussels can see that tornado Trump has been coming; still, most of them think that they can escape it — but they can’t.”
PM Orbán said Trump had “upturned the world” through some measures taken during the first fortnight of his term. “In America, the gender frenzy is over; there’s no more financing of Soros organisations, there’s no more illegal migration or support for the Russia-Ukraine war.”
“Everything that Brussels bureaucrats have tried to cram down our throats in recent years is over,” the prime minister said.
“But there is something else: we can say goodbye to the current rules of world trade. President Trump will stand up for America’s interests, even against Europe,” he said, adding that “the next few months will be tough for Brussels bureaucrats.”
“We must strike a deal so we can maintain our economic ties with the US,” PM Orbán said. “A good deal can come about between those who do not only know one another but also respect the other.”
