BUDAPEST (Reuters) -Hungary has secured an agreement with Washington on a "financial shield" to protect its economy and public finances, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said after talks with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Orban, a long-time Trump ally, met with the president at the White House on Friday to press for a reprieve from U.S. sanctions on Russian oil and gas, securing a one-year exemption.
