Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in The Hague on Wednesday that the international order is based on common sense, and the US president is "a man of common sense, as it was shown in the way he handled the conflict between Israel and Iran."
Ahead of attending the second day of the NATO summit, PM Orbán said that as a result of Donald Trump's work, "new wars will be shorter and old wars will run out of fuel".
Responding to a question, PM Orbán said the "real threat for Europe is not a security one. The greatest threat Europe is facing right now is losing its competitiveness."
Although the closing declarations of NATO summits describe Russia as a threat, "Russia is no substantial threat. We are much stronger," PM Orbán said, responding to another question.
Commenting on the recommendation expected to be adopted at the NATO summit of member states ploughing 5 percent of their GDP into defence spending, PM Orbán said the commitment would be "not easy but we could do it."
In order to comply with it, "the whole calculation of the EU's budget should be overhauled," PM Orbán said. Should current regulations prevail, "no one in the European Union would manage the 5 percent."
Asked about the Russia-Ukraine war, PM Orbán said "NATO has no business in Ukraine. Ukraine is not a NATO member, and neither is Russia. My job is to keep it as it is," he said.
