Anita Orbán also discussed reducing dependence on Russian hydrocarbons with the American Secretary of State.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Anita Orbán announced two cooperation agreements with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington. One agreement focuses on energy, enhancing collaboration on regional gas and oil infrastructure through the Trump Peace Pipelines Framework. This initiative aims to establish alternative energy supply routes for Balkan and Central European countries, reducing reliance on Russian energy. The U.S. plans to supply LNG to these states, raising concerns about potential corruption and the impact on EU accession requirements. The second agreement strengthens law enforcement cooperation against crimes committed by radical organizations and includes commitments on modular nuclear power plants and public assurance of nuclear safety.
