🇭🇺🇷🇺🇺🇸 Hungary seeks a US exemption from new Russia energy sanctions.

Hungary’s new government has asked Washington to exempt the country from measures targeting major buyers of Russian oil and gas, despite pledging to reduce its dependence on Moscow.

The request comes after President Donald Trump signed a new Russia sanctions law allowing tariffs of up to 100% on goods from major Russian energy buyers, with possible national-security exemptions.

Hungary relied on Russia for around 90% of its crude oil imports in 2025, making the issue particularly significant for Budapest.

The country’s existing US sanctions exemption is reportedly set to expire on November 21 unless renewed.
