Ukraine Peace Talks Could Start This Year if Trump Wins US Presidential Race - Szijjarto
Peace talks to resolve the conflict in Ukraine will likely begin this year if Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump wins the 2024 US presidential election, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto told RIA Novosti.
💬 "I think that the US presidential elections will definitely be a game changer in this regard [peace talks on Ukraine]," Szijjarto said on Wednesday. "I think if President Trump wins, there will be a good chance for peace talks to be started already this year."
The position of the United States on the conflict will change under Trump, Szijjarto said. Trump is the only potential leader who could be elected in the foreseeable future who could make a "successful mission" to create peace in Europe, Szijjarto added. During a recent meeting with former US President Donald Trump, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban shared with him the results of his trips to Russia and China as part of peace efforts to end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Peter Szijjarto said.
