Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said the next two months will be the most perilous of the past few decades.
The foreign minister said the incumbent US president "who was voted out of power, whose own party got rid of him, whose capacities are questioned by many ... could make decisions with catastrophic consequences for the world."
Europe has been handed a chance to restore peace on the continent thanks to Donald Trump's election win, the minister said, adding that there were many people "of the pro-war political elite on both sides of the ocean who don't want this ..."
Minister Szijjártó said that allowing US weapons to be deployed deep into Russian territory risked the outbreak of a world war.
