Potential trade deal between Hungary and the US

World World: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has indicated that an important trade agreement with the US could be reached in the next six months, which could balance the impact of possible tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. He gave this information in an interview to a local website.

The automobile sector plays a major role in Hungary’s economy, but this sector may suffer due to US tariffs. Hungary is currently facing the challenge of slower economic recovery than expected and controlling inflation before the 2026 elections.

Orban said that talks are going on with the US side and there may be some economic agreements that compensate for the negative impact of tariffs. However, he did not give detailed information about the agreement.
