The Hungarian government will discuss energy security with American officials, in the context of sanctions on Russian oil that affect supply.

The location of the meeting between Hungarian and American officials has not been established, but details are expected to be announced soon. The Hungarian government considers this meeting an opportunity to obtain assurances regarding energy security, given that American sanctions on Russian oil could affect the country's supply. The American administration has criticized Budapest for the lack of an active plan to diversify energy sources, while Hungary, dependent on imports from Russia, faces significant risks.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán estimated a possible decline in the Hungarian economy of up to 4% due to restrictions on Russian deliveries. Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó emphasized the importance of energy supply security and mentioned that Hungary will seek solutions, despite geographical limitations. This meeting could reduce tensions between the US and Hungary and could pave the way for other states dependent on Russian energy to negotiate similar conditions.
