flag Hungarian PM Orbán meets Trump to seek U.S. approval for continued Russian oil imports, defying sanctions.

flag Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is meeting Trump at the White House to seek U.S. approval to continue importing Russian oil, despite Western sanctions and pressure from the EU. flag Orbán argues Hungary, as a landlocked nation, lacks viable alternatives and faces economic collapse if it cuts Russian crude, which now makes up about 86% of its supply. flag The Trump administration has imposed sanctions on Russian energy firms, raising the risk of secondary penalties, but Trump has acknowledged Hungary’s limited options. flag Critics dispute Orbán’s claims, noting Hungary could use the Adria pipeline from Croatia. flag The meeting highlights the growing divergence between Hungary’s energy policy and broader Western efforts to isolate Russia economically.
