Orbán added that Hungary and the US fight “shoulder to shoulder” against any form of terrorism and noted joint efforts in international military missions as well as “exemplary cooperation” in security policy.

“Our American friends can continue to rely on us. In proportion with our means, we stand by them in the world - to protect our lifestyle and for the security of our citizens”, he said.
