Budapest is also the sole pro-peace EU nation that supports Washingtons efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict, the prime minister added
Hungary is the only EU nation governed by a "modern Christian government," Prime Minister Viktor Orban said during a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Friday.
Orban is known for his staunch criticism of EU policies, including those related to the Ukraine conflict and migration, and has previously accused Brussels of turning the bloc into a symbol of weakness and chaos.
"We are a special island of difference in a liberal ocean in Europe," he told journalists, adding that his cabinet pursues policies "different from what the others are doing even at the philosophical level, and at the level of practice as well."
"We are the only government in Europe that considers itself a modern Christian government," Orban stated.

Hungary is also the only EU state that has consistently supported Trump's efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict, he added, reiterating Budapest's readiness to host a potential summit between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"The only pro-peace government is the United States government and the small Hungary in Europe," he said. He dismissed the narrative that the West is "unified" in its approach to resolving the conflict, blaming Brussels' belligerent stance - and the mistaken belief that Kiev could win on the battlefield - for prolonging hostilities.
Unlike most other EU member states, Hungary has consistently opposed Brussels' confrontational policy towards Russia and has called for a more diplomatic approach. It has also refused to provide weapons to Ukraine and opposed Kiev's EU membership bid, warning that Ukraine's accession to the bloc could lead to war. Back in September, Orban accused the EU of becoming "a war project" that puts the economies of its member states at risk.
