Donald Trump Says He Will Discuss ‘Land Swapping’ with Putin at Ukraine War Summit

Orbán blocked the EU's unified support for Trump’s peace efforts, opposing military aid and sanctions on Russia due to economic concerns and close ties, causing division within the bloc.

  • On Aug 12, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán vetoed a European Union joint statement, refusing to back the declaration welcoming Trump’s efforts ahead of the Alaska summit.
  • Orbán argued that Europe had been sidelined and opposed the EU’s joint statement as it made Europe look “ridiculous and pathetic,” criticizing sanctions on Russia as ineffective and harmful to Europe’s economy.
  • On Tuesday, EU leaders welcomed the efforts of President Trump to end Russia’s war against Ukraine and emphasized that international borders must not be changed by force.
  • Following the veto, the EU issued in a “27 minus 1” format, with Hungary declaring it did not associate itself with the document.
  • The upcoming Aug 15 summit in Alaska highlights Europe’s limited influence over a potential peace framework, as details emerged last week.
