Donald Trump has exempted Hungary from sanctions over its continued purchases of Russian oil and gas for one year, a White House official has confirmed to BBC News.
Earlier, the US president said he would consider an opt-out for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a close Trump ally who has maintained good relations with Russia throughout the Ukraine war.
Speaking on Friday during Orban’s visit to the White House, Trump said an exemption was under consideration because "it’s very difficult for him [Orban] to get the oil and gas from other areas".
It comes after the US effectively blacklisted two of Russia’s largest oil companies last month, threatening sanctions on those who buy from them.
