Trump says he may give Hungary an exemption on Russian oil sanctions

During Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's visit to the White House, US President Donald Trump hinted at potentially granting Hungary an exemption from Russian oil sanctions, citing logistical challenges. Trump expressed concern over European nations continuing to buy Russian commodities, despite Hungary being landlocked and facing difficulties in sourcing oil and gas. Orban has defended Hungary's energy ties with Russia as a response to logistical realities, aiming to maintain good relations with Moscow and secure re-election in April with promises of "cheap Russian energy" for voters.
