PM Orbán told who would win the US elections and what he thought about Huxit
Prime Minister Viktor Orban told Reuters on Friday he was convinced that Donald Trump would win the US presidential election set for November 3.
“We have an exceptionally good relationship with Trump,” Orban said in his interview. Answering a question, he added that “probably the level of openness and kindness and helping each other will be lower should Joe Biden win”.
“He (Trump) will win,” Orban said. Once that happens, the European Union “will need to normalise its trade relationship with the United States and also establish clarity about the long-term presence of US troops on European soil”, he said.

Britain’s decision to exit the European Union was a brave one
but Hungary will not follow that path, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in an interview with Reuters on Friday.
Orban said the EU only had itself to blame for the British referendum vote to leave the bloc because of the way it had treated the country. “Brexit is a brave decision of the British people about their own lives…we consider it as evidence of the greatness of the British,” he said.
“We can’t afford to follow that track,”
the prime minister added.
He said that the Hungarian economy has been too closely integrated into the EU to follow Britain out. Orban said that there was a high level of support for the EU in Hungary despite the country’s many disputes with other member states over issues such as migration and the rule of law.
Hungary does not support the new migration and refugee package presented by the European Commission on Wednesday, Prime Minister Viktor Orban told Reuters newswire on Friday. Under the package, Hungary’s commitment to send people back from the southern EU states like Italy or Greece, where they first arrived, could turn into an obligation to accommodate them in Hungary, he said.
Budapest will not agree to anything
that could lead to Hungary being under obligation to take in people coming from the Middle East or Africa, Orban said. “That is a very problematic point… It’s nothing else but just renamed relocation. And we always reject relocation. This point is not acceptable for the Hungarian people,” he said.
