The US has lifted sanctions on Antal Rogan, a close advisor to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, as they were inconsistent with US foreign policy interests. Secretary of State Marco Rubio communicated this decision to Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, noting the importance of aligning on critical issues and fostering economic cooperation. Rogan had been sanctioned in January by the Biden administration due to alleged corruption, reflecting ongoing tensions between Hungary and the US, particularly concerning Hungaryâs ties with Moscow amidst the war in Ukraine.
The punitive measures on Antal Rogan were deemed inconsistent with US foreign policy interests, leading to his removal from the Specially Designated Nationals List.
Marco Rubio discussed with Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto a focus on strengthening US-Hungary relations and enhancing economic cooperation during their recent conversation.
