Secretary Michael Pompeo met with Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto in Washington on Wednesday. The two discussed areas of mutual interest and opportunities for our countries to increase cooperation. The Secretary underscored the importance of maintaining a vibrant civil society. The Secretary also emphasized the urgent need to help Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression, including the importance of facilitating and supporting Ukraine’s engagement with NATO, and the need to counter Russian malign influence in Central Europe. Both sides agreed that Europe should diversify its sources of energy and discussed increasing U.S. investment in Hungary. The Secretary and Foreign Minister committed to concluding a Defense Cooperation Agreement in the days ahead.

Trade war with EU now on.
business-review.eu/.../romania-hungary-sign-agreement-on-natural-gas-deliveries-157...Feb 6, 2018 - Romania and Hungary have signed in Bucharest an agreement on the delivery of Romanian natural gas to Hungary until 2020.
By 2020 natural gas from the USA will be delivered to Hungary through Romania. The USA is slowly but surely chipping away at the Russian market.
Yes Poland, Romania, and Hungary are key right now. Poland/Romania proving reliable, but Hungary can be Putin-leaning.
But now, in the United States, Hungary knows they have an alternative to both the E.U. and Russia. So if they’re smart, they’ll align with us.
Appreciating Pompeo’s moves for sure.
“Hungary can be Putin Leaning,” you say? Hardly. Check your facts.
The most important thing at play is the resistance of Hungary, Poland and others to Merkel/EU demands that they commit suicide through massive Muslim immigration.
I would like to have seen Pompeo make a full-throated defense of Hungary’s right to determine its own immigration practices.
It is Hungary’s prerogative to be part of the EU and endure whatever perks and consequences thereof. Don’t know what their version of a “Brexit” situation would look like.
Hopefully the entire EU will collapse soon. It is a great evil to force nations to be invaded by hordes of Muslim rapists.
