Hungary stunned Americans with its “multi-vector” option
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has refused to be led by the Americans and said he wants his country to be “neutral like Austria” in response to US demands to increase pressure on Russia and China. The Wall Street Journal writes about this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The United States is pushing to tighten pressure on Russia and China, fearing that longtime American ally Budapest is falling out of its orbit.
Mr Orban's aides have said he wants to remain a troop-contributing member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and values the security Hungary receives from the alliance. But a senior Hungarian official said Mr Orban strongly opposed US pressure for Hungary to pursue a policy of curbing the influence of Moscow and Beijing in Europe.
