US President Donald Trump on Friday said he is considering granting Hungary an exemption from sanctions on Russian oil to help the landlocked European nation secure energy supplies, Fox News reported.

Speaking at a joint meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Trump said the US is “looking at” Orban’s request for an exemption from the Russian oil sanctions imposed last month.

“We’re looking at it because it’s very difficult for him to get the oil and gas from other areas,” Trump told reporters during the bilateral lunch with the Hungarian Prime Minister. “They don’t have the advantage of having seas. It’s a great country. It’s a big country. But they don’t have a sea, they don’t have the ports. And so they have a difficult problem.”
