Trump considers granting Hungary exemption on Russian oil just weeks after imposing sanctions
Fox News
President Donald Trump says he is considering granting Hungary an exemption from Russian oil sanctions during a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
"It's a big country. But they don't have sea, they don't have the ports," he continued. "And so they have a difficult problem. There's another country that has that same problem, by the way. But when you look at what's happened with Europe, many of those countries, they don't have those problems and they buy a lot of oil and gas from Russia. And as you know, I'm very disturbed by that because we're helping them and they're going and buying oil and gas from Russia."
After months of waffling between confrontation and conciliation toward Moscow, Trump imposed sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil companies — Rosneft and Lukoil — in October as the Kremlin backed off from talks to end the war with Ukraine.
