Orb\u00e1n, in remarks to state radio and reported by The Associated Press, said he told Trump that ending Russian oil imports would be an economic \u201cdisaster\u201d for Hungary that would put the Hungarian economy \u201con its knees.\u201d<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Trump seemed to cut Hungary and Slovakia some slack in continuing to purchase Russian oil.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just don\u2019t want to have people go blaming them when, you know, we spoke to them at length today and it seems like that, for them it\u2019s a little bit,\u201d the president said from the Oval Office on Thursday, trailing off and turning to his pressure campaign on Turkey to stop buying Russian energy.”<\/p>\n
