Trump’s Taking Office Created a New Situation
In the interview, FM Szijjarto emphasized that with Donald Trump’s inauguration, “everything has changed.” He noted a stark contrast between the previous U.S. administration, which supported the continuation of the war, and the current president, who stands on the side of peace.
"We greatly appreciate the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Russia. We hope they will be successful,” he said.
According to the Mr. Szijjarto, good U.S.-Russia relations are beneficial for global security, whereas tensions between the two countries have the opposite effect on world stability. He also pointed out that while Hungary approaches energy issues pragmatically and based on geographic realities, others take an ideological approach, which he deems entirely misguided.
Ideology and press statements cannot heat homes or meet economic demands,
– he said. He added that Russia has been a reliable energy source, whereas some neighboring countries have not proven to be dependable transit partners. He called attacks on the Friendship oil pipeline and the TurkStream pipeline unacceptable.
The Attacks are Not New, Just More Visible
According to FM Peter Szijjarto, political and economic attacks against Hungary have been ongoing for 15 years, but the current circumstances have made them more visible. He said he sees a similar approach being taken against Serbia, where street protests are being organized, and external interference is taking place. In his view, the goal is the same: to destabilize sovereign national governments. However, he underscored that the Hungarian government remains committed to making decisions based on national interests.
We will always follow our national interests. We will always act according to our own national interests, as we have done so far,
– he declared.
