Orban to Meet Trump to Discuss US Sanctions on Russian Oil

Prime Minister Viktor Orban said he’ll meet US President Donald Trump to try to shield Hungary from the impact of US sanctions on Russian oil.

Hungary depends on Moscow for the bulk of its oil and gas imports. Unlike many of its European Union neighbors, which have worked to cut reliance on Russian energy following Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Hungary has since ramped up its purchases.
