In an interview with Kossuth Radio on Friday morning, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said: "Hungary must go on with its fight for peace, now in Brussels, with an American victory triggering great expectations."
PM Orbán said the goal is to elicit changes in Brussels. He added that "a comrade-in-arm for peace" winning the US presidential election in itself had not resulted in changes in Brussels and "we must continuously urge a turnaround towards peace lest the idea should arise that we could go on with this war without America."
Referring to the political climate after the US election PM Orbán said it was now "calm without winds; so far it has been windy and the ship was forging ahead, the campaign itself was a hurricane and drove the peace camp's ship ahead at great speed. There was a fight between the peace and war camps on a daily basis," he added.
"A pro-peace presidential candidate has won and now we await peace," he said, adding that he expected "an exciting and complicated two months" before Donald Trump's assuming his office on January 20.
