Trump’s return would be better for the world – NATO state — RT World News

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that Donald Trump would be able to stop the conflict between Russia and Ukraine if he wins the elections scheduled for November and returns to the White House.

Orban, who has a long-standing good relationship with Trump, made the comment in a video message on his Facebook page on Saturday dedicated to his meeting with the 45th US president at his residence in Mar-a-Lago in Florida the day before.

While he was in office between 2017 and 2021, so was Trump “The President of Peace, he was respected throughout the world and thus created the conditions for peace.” The Hungarian leader said, stressing that there was no conflict in Ukraine or the Middle East at that time. “Today, there would be no war if he were president of the United States.” The Prime Minister insisted.

According to Orban, Trump agreed with him on this “There will be peace if there are world leaders who want peace.” The Hungarian Prime Minister added that it was “proud” That his country was one of the countries striving for peace.

Since the conflict between Moscow and Kiev began in February 2022, Hungary has consistently called for a diplomatic solution to the crisis. Unlike its European Union neighbors, Budapest refused to supply weapons to Kiev, maintained its economic relations with Moscow, and criticized the sanctions imposed by the European Union on Russia as “sanctions.” “It is counterproductive.”

Russia has repeatedly said that it is ready for dialogue, but stressed that it has not received any reasonable proposals that would take into account the actual situation on the ground from Kiev or its backers in the United States and the European Union. According to Moscow, in such circumstances it has no other choice but to continue achieving its goals in Ukraine through military means.

Orban explained that the purpose of his visit to Florida was “To be honest” That Trump's second presidency “It will be better for the whole world.” Not only for relations between Budapest and Washington. The Hungarian Prime Minister added that it is of course up to the American people to decide who will be their next head of state.

Earlier this week, Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee in the election after his most recent rival, Nikki Haley, suspended her campaign after losing the primaries in 14 out of 15 states.

US President Joe Biden criticized both Trump and Orban during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania on Friday. “You know who he is [Trump] Is the meeting with today at Mar-a-Lago? Hungary's Orbán, who has categorically stated that he does not believe democracy works, is looking for dictatorship. Biden claimed that he himself was looking for the future “Where we defend democracy, we do not diminish it.”

Trump repeatedly pledged during his election campaign to resolve the conflict in Ukraine “within 24 hours” If he returns to the Oval Office, he claims he will sit down with both Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

In the fall of 2022, Zelensky signed a decree prohibiting Kiev from negotiating with Putin.
