Prime Minister Viktor Orban ordered extra security at critical energy infrastructure sites after accusing Ukraine of trying to disrupt Hungary's energy system. In a video posted to social media on Wednesday, Orban, who maintains the closest relationship with the Kremlin of any European Union leader, said the Ukrainian government is using an oil blockade to exert pressure on Hungary.

Orban is currently facing a tough re-election fight against opposition leader Peter Magyar, who has presented the first realistic challenge to Orban's grip on power in years. Last week, President Donald Trump posted a glowing endorsement on his Truth Social account, calling Orban a a truly strong and powerful Leader who fights tirelessly for, and loves, his Great Country and People, just like I do for the United States of America.

Fears grow that charter may be so broad that it could be an attempt to usurp the United Nations We are going to have peace in the world, declared President Donald Trump, as he inaugurated his Gaza Board of Peace in Davos, Switzerland, flanked by representatives from a hodgepodge of 19 countries.

As the leaders met, Trump promised to consider a waiver for Hungary on Russian oil sanctions. "We are looking at it because it is very difficult for him to get the oil and gas from other areas. As you know they don't have the advantage of having sea," he said. Meanwhile, Orban said he would explain to Trump "what would be the consequences for the Hungarian people and for the Hungarian economy not to get oil and gas from Russia." "Because we are supplied by pipelines. Pipeline is not an ideological or political issue. It's a physical reality because we don't have port(s)," Orban said.

Hungary's government has made clear it will not arrest Vladimir Putin, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, if he arrives in Budapest for peace talks. Speaking to state radio on Friday, Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban hailed the fact his country would host the meeting. Budapest is essentially the only place in Europe today where such a meeting could be held, primarily because Hungary is almost the only pro-peace country.

After President Donald Trump designated Antifa a terrorist group earlier this week, "the time has also come in Hungary" to do the same, said Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Friday on state radio. A conservative nationalist who is popular among Trump supporters, Orbán declared, "Antifa is a terrorist organization." Antifa is an amorphous left-wing movement that rose in prominence during the first Trump administration.

Ursula von der Leyen faced criticism from Viktor Orban, who labeled her a "featherweight" and claimed she was easily outmatched by American counterparts.

Fico's veto stance was portrayed as a question of national sovereignty and national pride, claiming the sanctions would harm Slovakia's economy and energy supplies.

"There was a lot of legal uncertainty created by Orbán, and this is exactly the same playbook which is being used by the Trump administration."

Orban celebrated the chaos wrought by the 'Trump tornado' and called on 'conservatives' to seize the opportunity it offers: "We have to go home, and everyone has to win their own election."
