“I am surprised to observe the neurotic reactions criticising the decision of the United States”, the Prime Minister said with relation to American President Donald Trump’s executive decree banning the citizens of seven Muslim countries from entering the United States.

“The United States is not a member of the European Union; it is an independent state and as such has the right to determine its own border, foreign and migration policies”, Mr. Orbán declared when he arrived at the summit of EU heads of state and government in the Maltese capital, Valetta..

The American leadership has decided that it will not be giving entry visas to the citizens of certain states, and “this is something the United States has a right to do”, he stressed, adding “It makes absolutely no difference what we think about this, it isn’t Europe’s business”. “We should be concentrating on ourselves and should be dealing with our own problems instead of criticising the United States”, the Prime Minister said.

In addition to migration, the main topic of Friday’s one-day informal summit in Malta is the new global political situation.
