Orban: Hungary 'one of safest countries'

Hungary is "one of the safest countries" in the world and "we must be careful not to lose what we have achieved", Prime Minister Viktor Orban told Hungarian public media on the sidelines of a NATO summit currently under way in Brussels. Hungary supports US President Donald Trump's proposal that NATO members should increase their defence spending, because "security is most important and the greatest danger is losing it", Orban said, and called Trump's request "in a sense justified". Orban warned, however, that "not all EU members are in agreement". Some countries' defence spending is below 2 percent of their GDP, "while the American is talking about 4 percent", he said.
