Trump stated the difficulties of abandoning Russian oil for Hungary and Slovakia

US President Donald Trump understands the difficulty of completely abandoning Russian oil for Hungary and Slovakia. He stated this on September 25 during a meeting with reporters at the White House.

"But who really has no choice (in the matter of refusing to buy oil from the Russian Federation. — Ed.) — so it is in Hungary. They have no access to the sea, where ships from all over the world could enter. They have only one pipeline," Trump said.

At the same time, the American leader stressed that Slovakia is in the same position.

Vladimir Demidov, an independent expert on the resources and energy market, told Izvestia on September 25 that Hungary and Slovakia will face serious challenges after the European Commission (EC) imposes customs duties on oil from Russia, since more than 30% of their supplies come from this country.
