We've been living in the shadows of a war for four years now.

We are convinced that if President Trump were the president in 2022, there would not be a war now; it would not have started.

If the Europeans, especially Brussels, would not be blocking the peace efforts of President Trump, peace would have been reinstated in Ukraine a long time ago already.

I've also explained to the Vice President that Hungary is experiencing very, very, very harsh and very open interference by foreign security services into our elections.

Europe is heading towards one of the worst energy crises of all times.

If we do not take measures on time, we are going to see a shortage of energy, oil, and gas.

I want to help as much as I possibly can to Orbán as he faces this election season.

I did want to send a signal to everybody, particularly the bureaucrats in Brussels who have done everything that they can to hold down the people of Hungary because they don't like the leader who has actually stood up for the people of Hungary.

I think Viktor Orban has been the single most profound leader in Europe on the question of energy security and independence.

It is funny to watch Prime Ministers and leaders in some of the Western European capitals talk about the energy crisis when, frankly, they should have been following the policies of Viktor Orbán in Hungary, and if they had, the energy crisis that they're experiencing would be a lot less bad.

In Hungary energy prices are elevated, but they're far less elevated here than they are almost anywhere else in Europe, and that's because of the leadership of the man who's standing next to me.

We want European families to be able to afford to heat their homes and to build great things.

We want Europe to be energy independent and even energy dominant.

But it’s not going to be energy secure if it continues to follow the failed policies of the past.

I think Viktor has been a great example in charting a course that could lead to a better, more prosperous, and more energy-secure Europe.

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.

However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?

We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

The two leaders who have done the most to end the war in Ukraine have been Donald Trump and Viktor Orbán through diplomacy.

What has happened in this country, what has happened in the midst of this election campaign, is one of the worst examples of foreign intellectual interference that I’ve ever seen or even read about.

The bureaucrats in Brussels have tried to destroy the economy of Hungary; they have tried to make Hungary less energy independent; they have tried to drive up costs for Hungarian consumers, and they’ve done it all because they hate this guy.

Part of the reason why President Trump sent me here is because that we think the amount of interference that's come from the bureaucracy in Brussels has been truly disgraceful.

I won't tell the people of Hungary how to vote, I would encourage the bureaucrats in Brussels to do the exact same thing.

I'm not aware of President Zelensky threatening Viktor Orbán.

I know that there have been a lot of people who have threatened Viktor.

They have not just threatened the people of Hungary, but have actually tried to exact costs on the people of Hungary, because their leadership has been one of the few that's been wise and smart about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

You don’t have to defend the morality of the war.

I think Orbán, I certainly have, and Trump have condemned the invasion.

We don't like the war; we want it to stop.

We're certainly aware that there are elements within the Ukrainian intelligence services that try to put their thumb on the scale of American elections and on Hungarian elections.

This is just what they do. This is part of the cost of doing business within some elements of their system.

I try to remind myself that Ukraine, like the United States, is a very complicated place. There are good people and there are bad people.

There were people in the Ukrainian system who were campaigning with Democrats literally in the weeks before the presidential election, where Trump won very comfortably in November of 2024.

The United States has largely accomplished its military objectives.

Very shortly, this war is going to conclude.

The nature of the conclusion is up to the Iranians.

While the Iranians are trying to exact as much economic cost through the Strait of Hormuz, the United States has the ability to extract much greater economic costs on Iran than Iran has the ability to extract costs on us or on our friends in the world.

So, I hope that they’re smart.

President Trump has set a deadline for about 12 hours from now in the United States. We're going to find out, but there's going to be a lot of negotiation between now and then.

I hope God agrees with the decision that Iran shouldn’t have a nuclear weapon.

We are going to work with whoever wins the elections in Hungary.

But Viktor Orbán is going to win the elections—I feel confident about that.

We feel confident that we can get a response from the Iranians by 8 o’clock tonight.

I hope they make the right response.

They've got to know we've got tools in our toolkit that we so far haven't decided to use. The President of the United States can decide to use them, and he will decide to use them if the Iranians don't change their course of conduct.
