Donald Trump “will not give a penny” to Ukraine if he is re-elected US president, the far-right Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán, said after a controversial meeting with Trump in Florida.

“He will not give a penny in the Ukraine-Russia war,” Orbán told state media in Hungary on Sunday. “Therefore, the war will end, because it is obvious that Ukraine can not stand on its own feet.”

According to Orbán, Trump has a “detailed plan” to end the Ukraine war, which began two years ago when Russia invaded.

The US and its allies have supported Ukraine but further US aid is held up in Congress, having passed the Senate with bipartisan support only to be blocked in the House, which is controlled by far-right Trump allies.

      He doesn’t own them. He only donates lots of money to their causes. He doesn’t expect anything in return.

      And by donate, I mean gives

      And by causes, I mean their pockets.

      And by expecting nothing in return, I mean expects them to do everything he asks.

      Well, he rents them. I’m sure they’d turn on him without hesitation, for the right price
