FM: Clear from Trump's first executive orders that 'pro-war and pro-migration madness' ends

The foreign minister said Hungary had battled not to be pushed into war in recent years, nor to be forced to accept migrants.

Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said it is clear from US President Donald Trump's first executive orders that "pro-war and pro-migration madness" has come to an end and "the era of peace, security, national sovereignty and common sense" has come in instead.

The foreign minister said Hungary had battled not to be pushed into war in recent years, nor to be forced to accept migrants. Further, it had fought against being "forced into gender madness and to expose our children to it", he added in a statement.

Minister Szijjártó added that it was welcome that the US president had similar views on these issues, and that he wanted peace and security and respected national sovereignty. "Also, he thinks the same as we do: a person is born male or female," he added.

Hungary, he said, would double down on its political ambitions to "live in peace here in Europe" and ensure that "everyone respects national sovereignty". Hungary will also work to ensure that the family is seen as "society's bedrock", he added.

The minister said that Hungary would pursue its strategy of "economic neutrality", enabling the country to continue setting investment records and provide a job to anyone who wants one.
