Trump's Peace Achievement and Leadership


In a video clip uploaded to the prime minister's Facebook page, Donald Trump says,"Hungary is here," and then asks,"Where is Viktor?" He added: "We love Viktor."

Addressing the Hungarian Prime Minister, he said:"You are fantastic. Many people disagree with me, but in the end, I am the only one who really matters," remarked the American president, at whose invitation Viktor Orbán attended the signing of the Middle East Peace Agreement in Egypt on Monday.

Donald Trump continued by saying that the Hungarian Prime Minister is a great leader, adding that he supported him in the last election “and he won by 28 points.”

So you will do even better next time. You will do great in the next election, and we appreciate that. We are with you 100 percent. This is Hungary

– said the American president.

Viktor Orbán wrote on the post:"Thank you, Mr. President! Let us continue on the path of peace!"

“The guns have fallen silent, the hostages are free, and there is peace in the Middle East that has not been seen for a long time. President Trump did it! Now it is Europe’s turn. President Trump’s success proves that negotiations should never be given up. If there is no negotiation, there is no peace. It is time for us, Europeans, to follow President Trump’s example!” – the Prime Minister wrote in a previous post.

A peace negotiation is not a sprint, it is a marathon

Viktor Orbán wrote on his community page on Tuesday morning that"the world was paying attention to Egypt yesterday. US President Trump did something that few would have thought possible even a few months ago."

His success tells us that a peace negotiation is not a sprint, but a marathon. Failure in peace negotiations is not a reason to retreat, but to continue

– he said.

He believes that this perseverance and steadfastness is what Europeans lack."If something doesn't go the way they think, they get offended and withdraw. It can't be like that. It can be like President Trump is doing. You have to fight him again and again. Sooner or later, he will succeed. Get to work, dear Europeans!" he added.
