Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó announced that the United States has lifted sanctions that previously restricted the construction of the Russian-built Paks II nuclear power plant in Hungary.

According to Szijjártó, the sanctions were originally introduced under the administration of former US President Joe Biden and had complicated Hungary’s long-term energy plans.

In a statement published on June 29, Szijjártó credited current US President Donald Trump for reversing the measures, calling the decision a step toward ensuring Hungary’s future energy security.

“In light of the fact that there is now a president in Washington who considers Hungary a friend, the American government has lifted sanctions related to investments in the Paks nuclear power plant,” Szijjártó said.

But they have not been enforced since Trump became president. And obviously Russia doesn't give a fuck, they are already sanctioned. And Hungary doesn't give a fuck either, they have shown that very clearly, and Orban and Trump are pals, and I'm pretty sure Trump would be very happy to give Orban permission if he asked.

But in the end US sanctions against Russia have been void since Trump became president because they have not been enforced.

Then why go through the effort to renew them? They were expiring today, and he renewed them while adding an exemption for Hungary.
