Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán recently voiced concerns over the potential impact of Donald Trump’s return to the global political scene. Reflecting on the first EU summit since Trump’s new administration began, Orbán described the gathering in Brussels as tense and uncertain. He noted that while European officials see a storm brewing, many mistakenly believe they can escape its impact.
In just two weeks, Orbán remarked, Trump has already disrupted international norms with significant policy changes. The Hungarian leader highlighted several areas of transformation, including the end of “gender madness” in America, the cessation of financial support for globalist organizations, stricter measures on illegal immigration, and a reduction in backing for the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. He emphasized that these changes directly challenge the agenda Brussels has pursued in recent years.
Orbán also predicted a significant shift in global trade, warning that the United States will prioritize its interests, even at the expense of Europe. He stressed that the European Union should brace for difficult months ahead as bureaucrats in Brussels face growing challenges in navigating the new geopolitical landscape.
Despite the challenges, Orbán expressed confidence in Hungary’s readiness to adapt to the evolving situation. He underscored the importance of negotiation and mutual respect, stating that Hungary has always anticipated Trump’s return and is prepared to strike a favorable economic deal with his administration.
In a pointed message to EU bureaucrats, Orbán asserted that they must face the consequences of their past decisions. His remarks signal Hungary’s determination to secure its national interests while warning other EU nations to prepare for a transformed relationship with the United
States.
