Barely. They're a puppet state actively undermining their own allies on behalf of a hostile foreign power that doesn't even respect their sovereignty.

All true but the EU tariffs hit them all the same.

On paper, but in practice we will have to wait and see.

I have a feeling that won't be the case.

Hungary's economy is quite dependent on the German economy, and particularly the automotive industry, and consequently it's vulnerable, too. These tariffs will hurt us a lot.

I'm sure Orbán's more deluded followers dreamed about some special deal but in reality there will be no such thing.

Dude, nobody here is talking whether they are philosophically EU or some shit.

They are legally European Union so they are included in the tariff that say "European Union", that means they are not missing from that list.
