FM Szijjártó blames EU leaders for Trump’s tariffs

The European economy is once again paying the price of “the incompetence of Brussels bureaucrats” who have failed to avoid the imposition of US tariffs through negotiations, “as they have been idle in the past months”, Péter Szijjártó, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, said on social media on Saturday.

Donald Trump was elected in November 2024, and “it was known that he will conduct a patriotic economic policy which may include raising tariffs,” Szijjártó said.

“And yet, Brussels has done nothing about the issue … they didn’t come up with a single offer of negotiations with the US that could be taken seriously.”

“Now, everyone is wailing and whining about the US tariffs. But the question is, where was Brussels? Where were the well-paid bureaucrats of the European Commission in the past months?” Szijjártó said.

  2. When the Hungarian economy suffers from Trump’s tariffs Hungarians can ask themselves why on earth Orban and his cronies worked tirelessly to promote Trump’s election calling it a fantastic new age for Hungary. Szijjarto is now spinning a false narrative to deflect from the negative consequences of what Hungary’s supposed great friend is doing who is supposed to be so much better for Europe than Joe Biden. Well, is Trump making life better for you great people of Hungary?

  3. No wonder, this Foreign Minister ofHungary – Szijjarto Peter, a “gofer” to Orban and to “Mother Russia” – that NO respect nor trust is HELD for him in Europe, the European Union and GLOBALLY countrys that are Governed under DEMOCRACY.
    The “gofer” Szijjarto factually is to the “Judas” of DEMOCRACY – Victor Mihaly. Orban that through intellectual lack of standards and ability, we see again, in this article -PERSONIFIED – this Foreign Ministers in-capabilities intellectual and “other” – his gargantuan FAILINGS that continue ON – embarrassing and SHAMING our country – Hungary.
