In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated that Hungary does not share the EU's fears regarding a trade war with the US, claiming that his country stands to gain economically from Trump's leadership.
Last week, President Trump announced intentions to impose tariffs on EU goods, citing an unfavorable trade balance. This announcement loomed over Monday's gathering of EU leaders, the first since Trump's inauguration. During the meeting, the bloc's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, asserted that only China would profit from an Atlantic trade conflict.
Orban remarked that EU leaders are treating Trump's arrival as if it were an “incoming tornado.” A long-time critic of Brussels' policies and a supporter of Trump during the presidential campaign, he predicted that this approach would be ineffective, noting that the new administration has “turned the world upside down” within just two weeks.
“The gender madness in America is over, the financing of globalist Soros organizations is over, illegal migration is over, and support for the Russian-Ukrainian war is over. In other words, everything that the bureaucrats in Brussels have tried to force down our throats in recent years is over,” Orban stated.
While Brussels faces “tough times,” Orban expressed Hungary's eagerness to move past outdated trade regulations. He aims to negotiate an agreement with Trump that maintains economic cooperation based on mutual respect.
“We always knew that President Trump would return, so we were ready,” he remarked. “And the people of Brussels can reap what they sow!”
The Hungarian government has frequently criticized various policies implemented by Brussels, especially regarding the situation in Ukraine. According to Orban, the EU’s sanctions on Russia have not only failed to resolve the conflict but have also caused significant economic damage to member states. He envisions Hungary playing a vital role as an intermediary between the EU and Russia.
