Orbán's Visit: US-Hungary Deal, Russian Oil Exemption

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbáns visit to Washington, seeking sanctions exemption and praise, resulted in a trade deal but no progress on Ukraine conflict. Orbán secured a one-year Russian energy exemption, boosting re-election efforts, while Hungarys energy company, MOL, upgrades refineries for non-Russian oil. Hungary agreed to purchase US nuclear fuel rods and potentially small modular reactors, but no US visa waiver or Trump-Putin summit on Ukraine was secured. The Daily News Now! — Every city.
