Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that US President Donald Trump agreed to support his country’s economy if it came under a speculative attack, although he didn’t offer any specifics about a deal.

“Yesterday I sealed an agreement with the American president on a financial shield,” Orban told reporters en route back from a White House meeting with Trump, according to a video on pro-government website Mandiner.
