Trump says open to exempting Orban's Hungary from Russia oil sanctions

  • At the White House, President Donald Trump hosted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Friday and urged European leaders to respect him, saying, `I think they should respect Hungary and respect this leader very, very strongly because he's been right on immigration.`
  • The European Union's top court imposed large fines on Hungary, ordering $223 million plus 1 million euros daily for failing asylum rules as Viktor Orban defended his stance.
  • Using stark language, President Donald Trump said, `Look what's happened to Europe with the immigration. They have people flooding Europe` and contrasted Hungary as `very recognisable`.
  • President Donald Trump told reporters he would consider exempting Hungary from sanctions on Russian oil purchases, citing Hungary's energy needs and pipelines as a physical reality, not politics.
  • Claiming strict controls, Viktor Orban said Hungary records zero illegal migration, requiring permission from Hungarian authorities, and called European Union penalties `This is the absurd world we are living in now in Europe`.
