Prime Minister Viktor Orbán says that in his phone conversation with Donald Trump the US president-elect invited him to Washington. “Trump made it clear during the conversation that he had a high opinion of Hungary,” Orbán told business daily Világgazdaság. “Our position has greatly improved … I had the impression that he understood that Hungarians are brave people who fought for freedom and whose economic achievements in the past six years were outstanding,” Orbán said. “He invited me to Washington and I told him that I had not been there for quite some time because I’m treated there as a black sheep. He laughed and said the same was true of him too. America will now have a president who is not limited by ideologies; he is open and far more interested in success, efficiency and results than in political ideologies … This is favourable for us because the facts support us.”
