The summit was held in Budapest, not Bucharest. And this man is an international affairs editor... Not even knowing the names of European capital cities.

[thelammas]

Interesting that Orban is seen as a pariah everywhere, mostly because he is friendly with a guy just picked by the US as their leader, and with a significant majority

[vincentmahon]

Macron is correct. USA and Canada can stand aside. There are 650 million people in Europe and 143 million in Russia.
The citizens of Europe must put their hands in their pockets and fund the defence of Europe.

if they impose tariffs on french spirits, wine and luxury goods, and on German automobiles, the europe should impose tariffs on all the US tech services from cloud services till facebook and instagram. This would then force the european people to invest much more in tech. europe has a lot of potential in tech, just think about the east european guys who are experts in tech

Orban didn't allow democratic backsliding, he masterminded and dictated it.

[charlessmyth]

The US tries it on with the tariffs schtick, and Europe has the stick of not buying US debt and/or demanding a higher coupon.

As the US stated when planning the current proxy war back in 2019 Ukraine will suffer a "disadvantageous peace" and the war will be "at the expense of the Ukrainian people."

Zelenskyy was nuts for going along with the US plan. He should have told Boris Johnson that it wasn't the job of Ukraine to "defend Western hegemony." He should have kept his campaign promise to bring peace by backing the Minsk Accords. Volunteering to fight a proxy war for the US to help it win the "great game" of "geopolitical competition" has destroyed Ukraine.

Now we will find out how disadvantageous peace will be for Ukraine. How much worse the new peace agreement will be compared to Minsk.

Orban is a true leader and the only sane politician in EU!

[peschkas]

And the EU will end the Support for Hungary and Slovakia and will use this Money to Support Ukraine.

[trqster]

Orban chose the side of the winner and he'll definitely profit politically now from that. Van Der Leyen must be fuming ...

[JaneSoole]

Orban...would you have given in to the Russian tanks in 1956? Did your parents do that or did they fight for the freedom you enjoy today, to run your country as you wish?

[ericp]

It means the Ukraine gravy train stops.

[abumahmoud]

It's not about supporting or letting Ukraine down but it's all about the outcome

[charlessmyth]

Since there's no real emergency, Scholz and Merz would be wise to keep a lid on the governance of Germany until the state-of-play in the US has gotten past the first 200 days :-)

[henriikkak]

I don't understand why we need Putin's stand-in in the EU. Hungary needed to leave like five years ago

[FunnyBunny-pdxx]

WELL DONE !

European Political Community Summit.

Congratulated PM Orban
for hosting the biggest Diplomatic Event in the history of Hungary !

[AlexandreMakavitch]

Europe can easily cover cost just increase all 3 %of GDP on defence now or you will increase to 6% after Ukraine loss

[JaneSoole]

Who is looking in to how Hungary government is funded?

[hloniphanintombela]

Orban, Trump, and Putin are great leaders!!!! It's time to end this stupid war, great leaders, and live in peace.
