Hungary is like heaven, Trump Jr says
According to hvg.hu, Trump Jr talked to businesspeople at a closed-door business forum in Budapest, organised by entrepreneur Zoltán Aczél and the Hungarian business portal Portfolio. He called it funny that the European Union imposed a EUR 1 million daily fine on Hungary because it does not welcome illegal migrants. He called migration one of the biggest businesses in the world. He added that it would cost a lot to support the migrants inside and said most of them would not want to assimilate. He said Hungary was like heaven because its leadership protects its people and culture.
About his impressions of Hungary and the everyday life of the Hungarians, he said that there is prosperity in Hungary. He praised PM Viktor Orbán for that, saying he and his political group had a strong authorisation, and did not forget about the people.
Trump Jr called Hungary one of the last bastions of light and expressed his hope that they can conclude many good deals, because there are so many threats surrounding Hungary and the Central and Eastern European region.
US-Hungary cooperation concerning pharmaceuticals and tech sectors
About China, he said Washington would not like to be vulnerable to countries that are not their allies. He expressed his commitment to building bridges in politics, business, and the private sector. He added that the tariffs his father announced had an effect because all of their trade partners came to the negotiation tables.
About the bilateral relations between Hungary and the USA, he said that the good personal and trust-based relationship between PM Orbán and US President Trump can serve as a good basis for strengthening bilateral economic relations. He added that the Biden administration had often been hostile to Viktor Orbán’s government because of its patriotic policies and support for Donald Trump.
About possible business cooperation, he said the United States had to recognise investment opportunities in Hungary and the rest of the region, but it was important for the initiative to come from both sides. He added that he saw opportunities for cooperation in the pharmaceuticals and tech sectors.
