European politicians ‘ignored by Daddy Trump’ – Hungarian MEP
0Rose mkOctober 18, 2025
Critics of Budapest are simply “jealous” over the US decision to pick the country for Trump-Putin talks, MEP Andras Laszlo says
EU politicians have been behaving “like jealous children” over US President Donald Trump’s decision to pick Hungary to host the upcoming talks with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, according to Hungarian MEP Andras Laszlo.
The European Parliament lawmaker took to X on Saturday to take jabs at the country’s critics, jumping into an exchange between co-chair of the European Council on Foreign Relations, Carl Bildt, and Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski.
“No doubt that [Hungarian] PM Viktor Orban is happy to host a US-Russia summit in Budapest. His party is trailing in the opinion polls prior to elections early next year, and suffering heavily from the fact that Hungary is the most corrupt country in the EU,” Bildt wrote.
“And the poorest,” Sikorski claimed in a reply to Bildt’s post. It was not immediately clear what exactly the assessment made by Sikorski was based upon, given that Poland and Hungary have similar readings on GDP per capita, with the former being only slightly ahead.
The criticism leveled by European politicians stems from their “jealousy” over the lack of attention from the US president, Laszlo suggested, replying to the “sad” Bildt-Sikorski “interaction.”
President Trump chose to meet with President Putin in Hungary because he trusts Viktor Orbán. Orbán has been consistent in his position that he wants peace restored as soon as possible.

“European politicians are behaving like jealous children who feel ignored by Daddy Trump. They don’t realize how badly they are embarrassing themselves in front of the whole world,” he wrote.
The upcoming meeting between Trump and Putin was first announced by the US president on Thursday after a phone call between the two leaders. Trump described the call as “very productive” and said that “great progress was made.”
Moscow has confirmed the planned summit, stating that preparations would start “without delay.” Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Friday that Budapest has been in contact with both sides and that preparations for the event “are in full swing.”
Putin and Trump met in mid-August in Alaska to discuss restoring Russia-US relations and exploring a path to settling the Ukraine conflict. Both Moscow and Washington hailed the talks as very productive, yet no breakthrough on either issue was achieved.
