Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban will become US President Donald Trump’s next confidant in Europe to implement the new US policy there. Pravda.Ru columnist Lyubov Stepushova writes about this.
With Donald Trump’s victory in Pennsylvania, the overall victory in the presidential election is beyond doubt. According to the Associated Press, Trump is ahead of his rival Kamala Harris in critical Keystone County between 51% and 48% with 94% of the votes counted. Pennsylvania receives 19 electoral votes, the most of the seven swing states.
According to preliminary results from Fox News, Trump wins 277 electoral votes, ensuring a victory so overwhelming that Democrats will accept it. Trump has already declared victory in his first speech to his supporters since the election, saying he intends “not to start wars, but to end them.”
Let us add that the Republicans, as a result of the elections, gained control of the US Senate and are close to control of the House of Representatives, which will consolidate the Republican position on Ukraine. But back to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. He periodically visits Trump at his Florida residence, and a few days before November 5 they called.
“If the United States does not give money, the Europeans alone will not be able to finance this war (in Ukraine) and then the war will end.” – Orban said in an interview with the Hungarian publication M1.
German newspaper Der Spiegel reported on a meeting in Vienna between Orban and Putin’s “European friends.” The former German chancellor of the Social Democrats was seen at the event. Gerhard Schröder. Both politicians said they agree with Donald Trump that the EU is now weak, does not understand the interests of the Russians and that a ceasefire in Ukraine is necessary. Schröder still heads the board of directors of the consortium that built Nord Stream.
According to the Hungarian prime minister, if Trump comes to power, “the big guys will sit at the table and the Europeans will be in the corner,” since the Germans and the French, in particular, have failed to play a leadership role. in mediation. Europeans, with the exception of himself, do not have access to the “Russian path,” Orban believes. Let us remember that Hungary currently holds the EU presidency until January, which is very useful for general statements in Brussels regarding the US elections.
“Brussels bureaucrats are strangling high-level and strong politicians. Why don’t we strangle them ourselves? – Orbán said.
Orban spoke out categorically against Ukraine’s membership in NATO and explained that this does not guarantee peace in Europe. Some European analysts believe that with Trump as president, Republicans will adapt many of their methods to American conditions to end what the duo consider liberal control of the “administrative state” and civil society. This, in his opinion, “could have profound consequences not only for European foreign policy, including the reliability of NATO’s collective defense.”
And here, with a high degree of confidence, we can say that, against the background of Russia’s victories in the Northeastern Military District, the position that “Trump is the new Europe” will be strengthened.
