If Donald Trump were elected, “we’ll be opening lots of bottles of champagne!” », launched Viktor Orbán, Hungarian Prime Minister, during a press conference in Strasbourg, on the sidelines of the plenary session of the European Parliament which he is expected to speak on Wednesday.
Recalling that a summit of the leaders of the 27 was scheduled in Budapest on November 7, two days after the American electoral meeting, Viktor Orbán estimated that this would be the ideal moment to delve into the program of the former president and candidate.

Referring to Donald Trump’s promise to end the war in Ukraine, the Hungarian nationalist leader said the EU must prepare for his arrival. “We Europeans will have no time to waste. […] We will have to think about the next steps as soon as possible,” said the man who regularly criticizes sanctions against Russia and opposes the prospect of Ukraine joining the European Union.
At the beginning of July, on the second day of the Hungarian presidency of the EU, Viktor Orbán launched a “peace mission” to Kiev, Moscow and Beijing, arousing the ire of European leaders.
For his part, Donald Trump regularly cites the Hungarian leader as an example, seeing in him “a strong man, […] a tough and intelligent man.
