Referring to Trump's pledge towards peace in Ukraine, David Cornstein said Zelensky was fully aware that "the entire ammunition is coming from the United States" which was why he said it would be worth listening to Trump's advice.

Ending the war is also in the interest of central Europe, and a priority issue for Trump, Cornstein said. No country has the right to invade another independent state, said the former ambassador, adding that "it is unacceptable".

He noted that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban had made efforts right from the beginning to have the warring sides sit down for talks, adding that the whole world should have followed suit.

Speaking about the close ties between Orban and Trump, Cornstein said both of them "are very strong leaders governing along the same principles". Also, they fully agree on cardinal issues such as migration, the importance of family and the economy, as well as the state's role in those ares, he added.

The former ambassador said that under the Biden administration there had not been any dialogue between the US ambassador and the Hungarian government. "But, if invited, Trump would most certainly pay a visit to Hungary," he said.
