“Golden age” for Hungary-US ties? Szijjarto hails Trump’s friendship as Orban heads to White House

A new political chapter is unfolding in Europe. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has declared that relations between Budapest and Washington have reached an “all-time high” since Donald Trump’s return to the White House — calling it a “golden age” for Hungarian-American ties. With Trump lifting sanctions on Hungary’s Paks II nuclear project and calling Viktor Orban a “personal friend,” both leaders are set to meet at the White House for a landmark visit on Nov 7.
