Don’t ‘interfere’ over US unrest: Hungary PM Orban

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, one of President Donald Trump's main supporters in the EU, yesterday cautioned against interfering in "America's business" over the unrest in Washington this week.

Foreign leaders including in the EU have roundly condemned pro-Trump protesters after they stormed the US Capitol building in anger over his election defeat.

But the nationalist Hungarian leader cautioned against criticising events in other countries during a state radio interview.

"We should not interfere in what is happening in America, that is America's business, we are rooting for them and we trust that they will manage to solve their own problems," said Orban.

"I would suggest that we keep to the foreign policy that we have followed so far, that we do not judge any other countries," he said.

"We do not like it either to be judged, hence we shouldn't judge other countries."

During the US election campaign Orban said Trump's re-election would be best for Central Europe and boasted of receiving a phone call from the US president in his kitchen in October.
