Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orban, one of the few European leaders to show sanity on U.S.-Russian relations, issued the following statement on X yesterday: “For years we have watched the two biggest nuclear powers dismantle the framework of their cooperation and shoot unfriendly messages back and forth. That has now come to an end. Today the world is a safer place than it was yesterday. May every weekend be at least this good!”
On Aug. 11, during a White House press conference, U.S. President Donald Trump said that he had sought Orban’s advice before going into the summit with Russian President Putin, and described Orban as a “very smart man,” reported the Hungarian Conservative quarterly.
