It is no exaggeration to say that we had this year’s most important meeting, the Prime Minister wrote. “We shook hands with President Trump on Hungarian exemption from the US oil sanctions without a temporal limit. As long as he’s president there and I’m prime minister here, there won’t be any sanctions,” Mr Orbán laid down in his post.
He added that the stakes could not have been any higher for us. The entry into effect of the US sanctions imposed on Russian energy carriers would have resulted in two to three times higher household energy bills and a thousand-forint petrol price in Hungary. A veritable disaster.
“We have managed to avert this threat. So that Hungarian families can have the Christmas that they desired,” the Prime Minister wrote, concluding his post.
