When Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán visits President Donald Trump in the White House on Friday, his top priority will be convincing the U.S. administration to turn a blind eye to Hungary’s dogged commitment to buying Russian oil, a potential test of how deep the affinity goes between the two friendly leaders.
According to Associated Press Orbán says that his country has no viable alternatives to Russian crude as Hungary is a landlocked in the heart of Central Europe.
In comments to state radio last week, Orbán made clear he would try to “make the Americans understand” that Hungary needs a carve out for its continued purchases of Russian energy.
"I have to convince the Americans what it’s like when a country doesn’t have a sea because they have it," he said.
"We rely on certain energy transport routes. We must make the Americans to understand the difficulties of this situation if we want exceptions from the U.S. sanctions on Russian energy,” he added.
The populist Hungarian prime minister, once an outspoken opponent of Russia’s dominance of Hungary during the Cold War, has in the last decade made a dramatic shift toward Moscow that has baffled both his opponents and many of his earlier allies.
Widely considered Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most reliable advocate in the European Union, Orbán has maintained warm relations with the Kremlin despite its war against Ukraine.
He has also curried favor with Trump and his MAGA movement, which views Hungary as a shining example of conservative nationalism despite the erosion of its democratic institutions.
But now, as Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine approaches its fourth anniversary, Orbán is under increasing pressure from both Brussels and Washington to end Hungary’s reliance on Russian oil, a resource seen as critical for funding Moscow’s war.
Last month, the Trump administration levied sanctions on Russian state-affiliated energy giants Lukoil and Rosneft that could expose their foreign buyers like India, China and Hungary to secondary sanctions.
