The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has called Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, on the telephone to speak about the new US ambassador to Hungary, who is taking his post in Budapest next week, the PMโ€™s press chief told MTI on Saturday.

 

Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told MTI after the conversation that Trump had said the new ambassador, David Cornstein, is a wonderful person whose arrival ensures a chance to further repair bilateral ties between the two countries.

 

They spoke about the importance of border protection and agreed that a country that cannot defend its own borders is no longer a country, he added.

 

Szijjjarto said Trump had urged Hungary to firmly defend its southern border. The prime minister ensured the president that Hungary is committed to continuing its migration policy and protecting Hungaryโ€™s borders, he added.

 

Orban stressed that it is important to Hungary for the European Union to win back its competitiveness, considering that almost 80 percent of the countryโ€™s exports go to other EU member states, Szijjarto said.
