Viktor Orbán told Reuters that he was confident that Donald Trump would win the US presidential election in November, at least he had no plans for a different outcome. “The only reason I’m still sitting here after 30 years of politicking is because I always believe in my Plan A.Said the Hungarian Prime Minister.
He added that he had an exceptionally good relationship with Trump and sees that friendliness, openness would diminish and help each other less if Democrats won the election. But hope Trump is the winner.
When asked what effect Trump’s victory would have in the European Union, Orbán replied that he was the best option for those who see the EU as a community of member states rather than a centralized power. And if Trump wins, the EU must normalize its trade relations with the United States and take a clear position on the issue of US troops stationed in Europe.
Orbán recalled that Trump always talks about the EU having a large trade surplus with the United States, which the US president would reduce by changing customs rules.
The Prime Minister welcomed the Polish initiative that US soldiers withdrawing from Germany should testify in Poland. At the same time, he added that this is not necessary in Hungary, since Russia does not threaten us directly. He also spoke that Hungary will meet NATO expectations within 5 years, meaning that defense spending should reach 2 percent of GDP.
