Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has denied claims that Hungary intends to leave the European Union, stating that his aim is to reform the bloc alongside his political group, Patriots for Europe. Orbán's comments follow suggestions by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk that Hungary was considering an EU exit.

Orbán clarified that former U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly asked him when Hungary would leave the EU, to which Orbán responded that Hungary would only consider leaving if it received a better offer. He emphasized that 85% of Hungary's exports go to EU member states, making continued membership advantageous.

The Hungarian prime minister has also criticized the EU's approach to the war in Ukraine, calling for an end to what he described as a 'war psychosis' in Europe. He argued that without U.S. support, Ukraine has no chance in the conflict and urged EU leaders to pursue peace rather than a military strategy.

Orbán noted that the EU has blocked certain funds to Hungary, with 13 billion euros recently deblocked and around 10 billion euros still suspended. He reiterated his position that the EU should return to serving the interests of its member states, and that Patriots for Europe will push for reforms within the bloc.
