Turin, 7 April (LaPresse) – ‘There are countless examples’ of cooperation between the United States and Hungary, and Orbán is ‘the only leader of real stature in Europe on the issues of security and energy independence’. This was stated by US Vice-President JD Vance following a meeting in Budapest with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The Guardian reports. “We want Europe to succeed. We want European families to be able to afford to heat their homes and build great things. We want Europe to be energy-independent and even dominant, but it will not be energy-secure if it continues to follow the failed policies of the past,‘ he explained. ’I therefore believe that Viktor has set an excellent example, charting a course that could lead to a better, more prosperous and more energy-secure Europe," he added.
