Donald Trump does have that personal relationship. He\u2019s even empathised in the past with Hungary\u2019s position on their dependence on Russian energy,\u201d he added. \u201cBut the question is, will Hungary bring enough to the table to get that exemption?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other countries, including US allies such as India, which had previously bought Russian oil with little protest from Washington, have scrambled to respond to the abrupt change in US policy that threatens to impose punitive sanctions and restrict access to Russian oil.<\/p>\n<p>Among European leaders, Orban is also considered more sympathetic towards Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Hungary has often been an obstacle towards European Union efforts to step up pressure on Russia.<\/p>\n<p>The ideological affinity between Trump and Orban, both far-right leaders who have pushed a hardline vision of immigration restriction and sought to crack down on political opposition, could help Orban secure relief from potential sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there has ever been a golden age in Hungarian-American relations, it is now,\u201d Orban said in a recent social media post. \u201cWe stand together on the key issues of our time: war and peace, migration, and the protection of family values.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But US tariffs on the EU have had a negative impact on Hungary\u2019s economy. Concessions on the purchase of Russian oil could hand Orban a victory and boost his political standing at home. Trump has frequently used US leverage to assist political allies in other countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hungary\u2019s nationalist prime minister will seek permission to buy Russian oil despite US sanctions.
