Orbán said in a video posted on Facebook that he had held a meeting with Trump where he congratulated the president-elect.

Talks will be held held after Trump takes office, Orban added. He said that “these days when two people, two men, sit down to talk either in Europe or America, they can certainly not avoid having a word about peace and about war”.

Orbán said that because of very strict U.S. legal regulations, “the U.S. president is currently not in a position to have talks about a ceasefire”.

However, he added that he trusted that on January 20, once Trump takes office, “we will experience its beneficial effect”.
