The United States Embassy in Budapest is explicitly preparing for the possibility that Budapest will host a summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, according to Robert Palladino, the outgoing US Chargé d’Affaires. Palladino’s post is expected to be filled by New York businessman Benjamin Landa as the permanent ambassador.
Even though Hungary has secured an exemption from US sanctions, Brussels is still banning Russian energy imports from 2027, Viktor Orbán said on Tuesday. "They want to pursue the war and sanctions," the prime minister wrote on Facebook.
"It is fantastic news that US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have spoken again, and even more fantastic that they will soon meet in Budapest," Peter Szijártó, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, said on Facebook..
Klara Dobrev, the leader of the opposition Democratic Coalition, is filing a report against an unknown perpetrator as she said it was "obvious that the Orbán government may have been spying on Europe for Russian President Vladimir Putin".
