Hungary's Orban says will seek exemption from US oil sanctions
Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday that he will need to convince U.S. President Donald Trump that Hungary is exposed to pipeline networks when it comes to energy to gain an exemption from U.S. sanctions on Russian oil.
Orban told state radio that the issue of energy will need to be settled at the meeting scheduled for November 7. Orban has said earlier that he would discuss U.S. sanctions on Russian oil companies Rosneft and Lukoil with Trump, and will also aim to conclude a broad economic agreement with the United States.
