Trump Won't "Give A Penny To Ukraine", Claims Hungary PM

Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban claims that during their meeting in Florida, former President Donald Trump told him he wouldn't provide financial support for Ukraine's conflict with Russia.

This statement was met with silence from Trump's team when asked for comment. Orban praised Trump's "clear vision" on the war, suggesting that without American funds, the war would end since Europe couldn't sustain it alone. Trump reciprocated the admiration, considering it unlikely Russia would have invaded Ukraine if he were still President.

President Joe Biden condemned Trump's meeting with Orban, contrasting Orban's anti-democratic stance with American values. Biden's campaign criticized Orban for consolidating his control over Hungary's political system and highlighted Biden's opposition to dictatorial regimes as opposed to Trump's pattern of praising authoritarian figures.

Orban, who has faced backlash in the EU for engaging with Putin and opposing sanctions, believes Trump has detailed plans for ending the Ukraine war but didn't share specifics.

He has called for an immediate ceasefire and sees Trump as adept at resolving the conflict. Meanwhile, Trump and some Republicans resist further aid to Ukraine and obstruct Biden's proposal for extensive military support for Kyiv. Previously, Trump was impeached over allegations that he withheld aid to Ukraine to extract political concessions.
