Orbán to press Trump for Hungary's exemption from new US sanctions on Russian oil

All Episodes

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán seeks U.S. exemption from sanctions on Russian oil during his Washington visit. Despite EU's cutback on Russian oil, Hungary has increased its import, relying on Russian crude due to its landlocked status. Orbán's close ties with Putin and opposing stance on Ukraine have strained EU relations. The U.S. sanctions pose a challenge, potentially leading to penalties if Hungary continues buying from sanctioned Russian companies. Orbán aims to secure ongoing Russian energy access, with bigger deals on cooperation or investment potentially delayed without U.S. exemption.
