EU Set to Agree to Extend Russia Sanctions, Hungary to Back Down: Reports

The European Commission's agreement included assurances for Hungary regarding energy security, responding to concerns raised by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
U.S. President Donald Trump's threats of sanctions against Russia influenced Hungary's decision to lift its objections to the sanctions rollover.
