At today’s talks, which was also attended by Minister of Finance Mihály Varga and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó, the parties highlighted that Hungarian-US cooperation is clearly a success story both economically and in terms of defence partnership, while since Donald Trump entered into office, also politically.
