President Donald Trump called Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to discuss diplomatic relations and the importance of border security.
New US ambassador to Hungary, David Cornstein, is scheduled to arrive in Budapest soon, and President Trump capitalized upon the occasion to reach out to his European counterpart.
Contents of the conversation were relayed by Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó to state media.
“The two leaders had spoken about the importance of border defense, and that they had agreed that a country which is unable to defend its own borders can no longer remain a country at all,” reports Kormany.
“The Minister said that the US president encouraged Mr. Orbán to strongly defend Hungary’s southern border. Mr. Orbán reassured the President that Hungary is committed to continuing its current migration policy and will defend its borders.”
