BUDAPEST (Reuters) - The European Union needs to rethink its support for Ukraine following Donald Trump's U.S. election victory, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said before a summit of EU leaders on Friday, adding that Europe cannot finance the war alone.
Trump has criticised the level of U.S. support for Ukraine's fight against Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion and before the election promised to end the conflict before even taking office, without explaining how.
