Trump Regularly Asks When Hungary Will Leave EU, Reveals Orbán Along with His Answer

Hungary should withdraw from the EU when there are more disadvantages to membership than advantages, but this point has not yet come, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in a surprise appearance at a local forum in Pilisvorosvar hosted by Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto and his state secretary Tamas Menczer.
He said US President Donald Trump regularly asks when Hungary will leave the EU, but Orban always replies that Hungary sells 85% of its products within the EU, so it would not be worth it.
In responding to audience questions, he was more lenient towards Ukraine than usual, saying that they fought heroically and many of them have died, but one thing is certain: it will never be in Europe's interest to participate in a war against Russia alongside Ukraine.
On the domestic front, he said "We have opponents, whom I will not say are not Hungarians … because the Hungarian nation also includes those who do not think like us".
Probably referring to Peter Magyar, as Telex adds, Orban said these people sometimes mistakenly call themselves Hungarians, but they are the people of Brussels.
