Suddenly Kamala Harris interrupted him and called all the leaders on the list “dictators, autocrats and those who can perfectly be described with the word ‘murderers’.”

“It’s a scandal to talk about my prime minister like that. This is unacceptable. This is a complete lack of respect not only for the prime minister, but also for the Hungarian people. We have always shown respect for the American people, and we expect the Americans to show also with respect to the Hungarian nation. Such statements show total disrespect, which is unacceptable, especially in relations between allies,” Szijjarto said.

He also emphasized that Orban has been prime minister for 14 years by the will of the Hungarian people. Answering the question about the future prospects of relations between Budapest and Washington, the minister noted:

“Definitely not the best start.”
