Tension brews between Washington and Budapest as Donald Trump dodges questions on sanctions relief for Hungary. The U.S. president confirmed that Prime Minister Viktor Orban - whom he called a “friend” - asked for an exemption from anti-Russia energy sanctions. Trump hinted at sympathy but stopped short of granting approval, saying, “He asked for one — we haven’t granted it, but he has.” Orban insists Hungary’s energy security depends on Russian oil and gas, despite rising Western pressure. The move puts the Hungarian leader in a delicate position - caught between loyalty to Moscow and friendship with Washington.
