Politico: Trump was able to persuade Orban to lift the veto on Ukraine’s accession to the EU

US President Donald Trump managed to convince Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to lift his veto on Ukraine’s accession to the European Union, Politico newspaper writes, citing a European diplomat.

According to the source, this will allow in the coming months to “break the deadlock” on the issue of Moldova and Ukraine joining the EU.

According to the newspaper, the decision to open a “negotiation cluster” may be made “in the coming days or weeks.”

Earlier, the Orban administration said that Hungary believes that Ukraine’s admission to the European Union would be a historic mistake.
