Orbán Slams EU-US Trade Deal, Claims Trump Dominated Negotiations

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has fiercely criticized the recent trade agreement between the European Union and the United States, claiming that President Donald Trump outmaneuvered European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Orbán described von der Leyen as a 'featherweight' negotiator and said Trump 'ate her for breakfast,' suggesting the EU conceded too much in the talks. Hungarian officials argue the deal is worse than similar agreements the US has made with other countries, and see it as evidence of weak EU leadership. Despite Orbán's close relationship with Trump, analysts warn that new US tariffs could still negatively impact Hungary's economy. The controversy has fueled calls within Hungary for a change in EU leadership.
