PM Orbán: ‘Trump Icon’

Concerning US President Donald Trump’s address in the United Nations, the Hungarian prime minister told public radio that Trump “represents the US position as an icon”.

Viktor Orbán suggested that under the current administration the US departed from its earlier attitude of “forcing its world-improving efforts” on other countries, which “Americans felt was against their own national interests”.

The US should be seen in a different light, and “we no longer need to fence off illegitimate attempts at cultural influencing but build a partnership based on mutual benefits”, Orbán said.
