BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary’s prime minister is predicting that Donald Trump’s new administration will abandon U.S. support for Ukraine. Viktor Orbán made the comments before a summit of European leaders where the war against Russia’s invasion will be high on the agenda. Orbán is close to both Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Orbán said in comments to state radio on Friday that Ukraine had already lost on the battlefield, and that the U.S. would “pull out” of Ukraine assistance under Trump. It was a sign that Trump’s recent election could drive a wedge among European Union leaders on the question of the war as they meet for the summit in Hungary’s capital.
