The US government has lifted sanctions that had held up Hungary’s planned expansion of its Paks nuclear plant, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said Sunday.
Donald Trump’s administration withdrew the penalties imposed during Joe Biden’s presidency, which means construction at the site on the Danube south of Budapest can now accelerate, Szijjarto said in a statement.
