Orban warns Europe may struggle to fund Ukraine war if Trump withdraws U.S. support

cnbc.com November 8, 2024, 04:01 PM UTC

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban warned that Europe cannot finance the war in Ukraine if President-elect Donald Trump withdraws U.S. support. He emphasized the need for a "peace budget" as Trump is expected to shift U.S. policy away from the conflict.

Orban's comments follow a summit with European leaders, where he noted a growing reluctance among some to continue funding the war. He highlighted that the U.S. and EU have provided significant aid to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began in February 2022.

The EU has spent over 161 billion euros on support for Ukraine, while the U.S. contributed around 108 billion dollars. Orban and Trump have both called for an end to the conflict, with Trump suggesting a reevaluation of aid to Ukraine.
