According to the liberal economist, the Hungarian Prime Minister should negotiate with Donald Trump about the planned US tariffs, as he may have the best chance for a peaceful agreement.
Viktor Orbán is one of the few European leaders who does not moralize. So, if Orbán would maximize the chances of a peace deal, why not try? asked liberal economist Gabriel Felbermayr in an interview published in the printed edition of FAZ.
According to him, the European Union should allow the Hungarian Prime Minister to negotiate with Donald Trump, as it should be taken into account who the new American president has a close alliance with and who he considers his enemies.
Orbán is Trump's friend, he has visited him overseas several times, and Trump has praised Orbán countless times, Felbemayr added in the article focusing on the planned US tariffs.
