US President Donald Trump, who stated that his country needs Greenland in terms of "national security," received an unexpected approval from within Europe. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, noting that Denmark and the US are NATO members, said that the Greenland issue could be discussed within the alliance.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban made evaluations regarding the Greenland issue at a press conference held in the capital Budapest.

"WE CAN DISCUSS IT WITHIN NATO"

Orban stated, "Greenland is an easy issue. Because it is a NATO issue. Both Denmark and the USA are NATO members. If anyone wants any changes, we can discuss it within NATO." Orban noted that Hungary is not a decisive power within NATO, but if this discussion comes to the agenda, his country will have an opinion on the matter.
