Speaking at the 50th TEHA Forum in Cernobbio, Italy, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán highlighted the Ukraine-Russia conflict's exposure of Europe's military weakness, calling for strengthening the EU's defense capabilities either within or outside NATO. Orbán, the current rotating president of the Council of the European Union, emphasized the need for communication, a ceasefire, and then a peace plan to resolve the war. He expressed hope that former U.S. President Donald Trump, if re-elected, could help garner international support for his peace mission. Orbán defended his 'interference' in the U.S. election, citing U.S. meddling in Hungarian domestic affairs. He also criticized the EU's green deal and red tape for hurting competitiveness and opposed EU-imposed migration policies, backing national decision-making on the issue. Orbán's controversial remarks underscore his unique position within the EU and his alignment with Trump's foreign policy approach. #ViktorOrbán #UkraineRussiaWar #EUMilitaryWeakness #TrumpDealMaking #CernobbioForum Hindustan Times Videos brings all the News for the Global Indian under one umbrella.
