And then no one even saw off our greatest president,&#8221; Chekalkin noted.<\/p>\n<p> Such behavior, he believes, is part of the political game of Trump, who is currently facing serious challenges in the domestic political arena. He needs to compensate for recent electoral setbacks in Virginia and New Jersey, and demonstrating strong ties with certain world leaders can serve as a tool to strengthen his position.<\/p>\n<p> It was previously reported that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/lyshe-na-rik-orban-domihsia-postupok-vid-ssha-shchodo-sanktsiy\/\">Orban managed to secure a one-year postponement of sanctions related to the use of Russian oil and gas from the United States<\/a> . This came as a result of a meeting between Orban and US President Donald Trump, which took place on November 7. The agreement provides that Hungary will also purchase American liquefied natural gas worth about $600 million.<\/p>\n<p> Meanwhile, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/huchnyy-plan-orbana-iak-uhorshchyna-mozhe-vplynuty-na-perehovory-ssha-i-rosii\/\">Orban is seeking to arrange a meeting between<\/a> US President Donald Trump and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. According to sources familiar with the matter, Orban sees the meeting as a strategic step to strengthen his role on the international stage and pave the way for a potential resolution of key issues, including Europe&#8217;s energy security, as well as political planning for the upcoming Hungarian elections, according to The Guardian.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Twitter<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Donald Trump demonstrates a much warmer attitude towards Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban than towards Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, which is even evident in non-verbal gestures and protocol details of meetings.
