US President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the election will end the international isolation of Hungary, the country’s prime minister, Viktor Orban, said on Sunday.
“With [Trump’s] victory, the isolation of Hungary is over. We are not alone, the entire America is with us,” Orban said in an interview with the TV2 broadcaster.
Furthermore, a large step toward a peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian conflict has already been made, the Hungarian leader added.
Under the new US administration, it is planned to reintroduce the agreement on double taxation with Hungary, and also “within six months, Europe must make decisions to reduce energy prices,” Orban said.
Earlier this week, Orban said that after Trump’s victory, there is a growing number of EU leaders who are cautiously shifting from a willingness to finance Ukraine to the hope for a peaceful settlement.
A presidential election took place in the United States on November 5. Republican candidate Donald Trump, who served as the US president from 2017-2021, was declared the winner by all leading race callers and networks, namely the Associated Press, Decision Desk HQ, Fox News, and CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS from the National Election Pool consortium, as he secured enough votes in the Electoral College to win the election. Democratic candidate Kamala Harris conceded defeat in an address to her supporters, and US President Joe Biden congratulated Trump.
The Electoral College, the group of presidential electors from the states, will vote for the candidate whom each state’s voters have chosen on December 17, and the results will be approved by Congress on January 6. The presidential inauguration will take place on January 20.
Trump became the first US president since the 19th century to be elected to non-consecutive terms.
