Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's meeting with former US President Donald Trump and the current presidential candidate of the Republican Party proves that Hungary has many friends in the United States, said the Prime Minister's political director in Kossuth radio's Vasárnapi Újság program.

Balázs Orbán said about the negotiations in the United States of America: it was a great honor that the former American president and presidential candidate of the Republican Party received the Hungarian delegation in his own home, which received a very friendly reception. The most important message of the meeting is that

as long as the president of the United States was called Donald Trump, there was peace in many parts of the world"

- he added according to the MTI report.

Donald Trump pursued a policy during which there was peace in the Middle East and Ukraine. Since he has not led the United States of America, since then, unfortunately, the situation in these areas has been very bad, the bloody war in Ukraine has been going on for more than two years

the politician noted.

The Hungarian government's position from the beginning is that a ceasefire, negotiations and a diplomatic solution are needed as soon as possible, but "unfortunately, the liberal American administration and President Biden think differently," he said. Of course, American voters decide freely and without influence on who will be the next president, but we think that

"it would be best for the world, Europe, and Hungary as well, if Donald Trump would return and create peace"

said Balázs Orbán.

He explained: American-Russian negotiations can end this conflict, of course with the involvement of the Ukrainians and Europeans, as well as other third parties as necessary, but in fact the American attitude is decisive in this matter. Donald Trump also talks about it at his own campaign events

 the United States starts endless wars, but has no strategy for how to end these conflicts,

the danger of a nuclear confrontation is increasing, which everyone wants to avoid, and something radically different should be done on the part of the United States of America, recalled the Prime Minister's political director.

"We also think that we should negotiate with the Russians and agree on a ceasefire first, and that the ceasefire gave us the opportunity to use it to settle the security relationship between the West, NATO and Russia in the long term, for many decades," he said. He emphasized that this will not be an easy negotiation process, "but the sooner we start, the more lives we can save", and

the more the chance of a very serious negative turn on the front line can be reduced.

Balázs Orbán also touched on the fact that they experience "ideological hostility" from the Biden administration, despite the fact that Hungary is a good NATO ally, one of the few countries that spends well over two percent on defense policy last year and this year as well, and participates in numerous cooperations.

According to the politician, circles connected to the Democrats finance the Hungarian left, the government's political opponents. "It must be stated clearly: there is a disagreement between the current liberal administration and the opinion of the Hungarian government and the Hungarian people," he said, indicating that they would like to change this. It seems that "many people in the Republican Party see Hungary as a model and an important European ally," he declared. The political director added: Europe cannot afford to distance itself from a poll-leading ex-president seven months before the elections. The stakes are simply too high, at least Hungary cannot afford it, said Balázs Orbán.

According to him, Europe should negotiate with the current and future leaders of the United States.

At every diplomatic forum, efforts are made, he said, to convince the participants that this conflict does not bring any benefit to the Western world, but can bring a lot of dangers.

He stated: whatever pressure they try to exert on us, Hungary will not allow itself to be drawn into this war. More and more Western politicians are speaking out in favor of peace, they too are encouraged by Donald Trump's related positions, and the camp of peacemakers will grow day by day, this is in the interest of all Hungarians, he noted.

Balázs Orbán also reported that, one day before the meeting with Donald Trump, at the conference and round table discussion organized by the prestigious conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington, they talked about the

The conservative policy that has been tested in Hungary over the past 14 years and has proven to work can serve as an example for all countries.

This kind of cooperation and mutual attention greatly expands the scope of Hungarian foreign policy and lays the groundwork for many future cooperations, emphasized Balázs Orbán, adding: if the Republican administration returns, they want to give new momentum to Hungarian-American relations, eliminating the Biden- government's unfavorable policy in recent years.
