DEVELOPING: Trump Weighs Exemption for Hungary from Russian Oil Sanctions

Breaking News: Trump Weighs Exemption for Hungary from Russian Oil Sanctions US President Donald Trump has announced he may grant Hungary an exemption from US sanctions on Russian oil, during a meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban at the White House on Friday. Trump stated that Hungary faces unique logistical challenges in accessing alternative oil sources. The exemption would allow Hungary to continue buying oil from Russia, despite US sanctions aimed at pressuring Russia to end the Ukraine war. Trump cited Hungary's limited access to alternative oil sources as a reason for considering the exemption. Hungary's foreign minister has claimed that the US has given Budapest a "full and unlimited exemption from sanctions on oil and gas," although this has not been officially confirmed by the US government. Trump also criticized other European countries for continuing to buy Russian commodities, despite not being landlocked. Hungary's unique situation has raised concerns about the fairness of US sanctions. This is a developing story, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
