Brussels

US Ambassador to NATO Whitaker:

Under President Trump, our mission in Brussels has been clear: transitioning the conventional defense of Europe to our Allies. The U.S. remains a committed partner, but Allies must step up and take over.

Former Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán: "If you do not fight in Brussels, they will trample you, push you down, and rob you. The new leadership must understand this. It is not yet clear to me that they understand it, I do not see it yet."

Orbán warned that abandoning Hungary's patriotic stance would be "a huge strategic mistake" with a heavy price.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico:

"I meet with Putin and everyone criticizes, and when I return after the meeting with Putin, everyone in the restrooms in Brussels asks me what he said. So, why do they not go and communicate with him too?"

Péter Magyar:

We will renew and put on a strong foundation, and if possible, expand, the cooperation of the Visegrád Four.

In this spirit, my first trip will be to Poland, to strengthen the thousand-year-old Polish-Hungarian friendship.

My second trip will lead to Vienna, and the third to Brussels, so that we can bring home the EU funds that the Hungarian people are entitled to.
