Thu Sep 26 14:58:47 UTC 2024: ## Hungarian Foreign Minister Hopes Trump Can End Ukraine War
**UNITED NATIONS, New York** – Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó has expressed his belief that a second Trump administration could be the key to ending the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Szijjártó asserted that former President Trump is uniquely positioned to resolve the crisis through direct engagement with both Russia and Ukraine.
“We do believe that actually the game changer here can be the U.S. presidential election, in case President Trump wins,” Szijjártó said. “Knowing Trump, I think it’s absolutely possible — absolutely likely — that with two phone calls he can end this conflict.”
He emphasized that no other leader could achieve the same outcome, stating, “I think only President Trump has the hope, and our hope is all in President Trump to do this.”
Szijjártó highlighted the strong relationship between Trump and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, emphasizing the stability of the international security landscape under Trump’s presidency.
“Under President Trump, everything was under control,” Szijjártó said. “Since President Trump has left office, the whole global security situation is deteriorating.”
Hungary has taken a proactive role in seeking peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, with Orbán visiting both Putin and Zelenskyy in an effort to facilitate dialogue. While European leaders have downplayed Hungary’s official role in peace negotiations, Szijjártó criticized those who have been critical of Hungary’s efforts.
He also expressed opposition to Ukraine’s potential NATO membership, arguing that it would increase the risk of a direct conflict between NATO and Russia, potentially triggering a Third World War.
Szijjártó’s comments highlight the lingering influence of Trump on international politics, particularly within certain circles of European leadership. His strong stance in favor of Trump’s potential return to power reveals a desire for a more assertive and direct approach to international crises, potentially at odds with the current administration’s strategy.
