Orban seeks exemption for Russian gas in Washington: what he will gain

According to hvylya.net: As is well known, Orban is interested in strengthening his position ahead of the upcoming elections in Hungary, so he is using Trump's visit for his electoral maneuvers. Hungary aims to maintain energy ties with Russia and is trying to bypass American sanctions, which could seriously undermine the unity of European countries.

The meeting between Orban and Trump at the White House officially concerns 'peace issues' and the US-Russia summit, but the real goal of the Hungarian prime minister is to obtain an exemption from American sanctions against Russian energy and to use the visit for PR ahead of the elections in Hungary.

The meeting between Orban and Trump could have serious consequences for European politics and the sanctions system. An important point of discussion will be Hungary's interaction with Russia and American policy, but it is essential to closely monitor the possible repercussions of this meeting for international relations as a whole.
