Today, we are travelling to Washington to open a new chapter in Hungarian–American relations with President Trump

Today, we are travelling to Washington to open a new chapter in Hungarian-American relations with President Trump, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán wrote on Facebook on Thursday.

The Prime Minister recalled that since the re-election of President Trump, new opportunities had emerged in Hungarian-American relations. "The first ten months of this year marked the initial phase, during which we repaired the damage Hungary and Hungarian-American relations suffered under the Biden administration. The politically motivated sanctions have disappeared, American funding for NGOs attacking Hungary has ended, and we can once again travel to the United States without a visa. With this, the first phase has come to an end," the post reads.

"Today, we are travelling to Washington to open a new chapter in Hungarian-American relations with President Trump. Our goal is to establish a strategic partnership that includes energy cooperation, investments, defence collaboration, and discussions on the post-war landscape following the Russia-Ukraine conflict. We are working on an agreement based on mutual benefits, one that serves the interests of every Hungarian citizen," Mr Orbán wrote.

He added "Heading to Washington! Let's get to work!"
