Bloc gathers in Budapest at summit hosted by Brussels’ antagonist Viktor Orbán
European leaders on Thursday made a strained show of unity in the wake of the US elections and the collapse of the German government at a summit hosted by Viktor Orbán, the continent’s most prominent supporter of Donald Trump. The Hungarian prime minister has long been the black sheep of the EU for his pro-Russian views and for positioning himself as the illiberal antagonist to centrist leaders such as German chancellor Olaf Scholz and France’s Emmanuel Macron.
The president-elect has vowed to impose steep tariffs on its imports, and threatened to leave European countries at Russia’s mercy unless they pay more for their own defence. He has also vowed to end Russia’s war in Ukraine as soon as he takes office in January, something the EU has said must only happen on Kyiv’s terms.
