Trump Grants Hungary One-Year Exemption from Russian Energy Sanctions
Hungary will not face US restrictions on buying Russian oil and gas for the next year, following talks in Washington between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Viktor Orban. The White House cited Hungary’s reliance on Russian pipelines and its lack of coastline as reasons for the waiver. Supplies covered include oil via the Druzhba route and gas from TurkStream. Officials noted the move aims to protect Hungary’s energy stability.
