In addition to calling Putin, Trump also made a call to the Prime Minister of Hungary.

Jin10 data reported on August 20 that, according to informed sources, after talks with Ukrainian President Zelensky and European leaders, U.S. President Trump called Hungarian Prime Minister Orban on Monday to discuss why Hungary is blocking Ukraine's EU membership negotiations. European leaders urged Trump to pressure the right-wing leader to abandon his opposition to Ukraine's EU membership. In this context, Trump made two phone calls. One was to Putin, and the second was to Orban. During the call, Hungary also expressed interest in hosting the next round of talks between Russian President Putin and Zelensky. Later, Orban stated on social media that he was aware of the demands regarding Ukraine's EU membership but did not intend to make concessions. He said, "Ukraine's EU identity does not provide any security guarantees. Therefore, linking EU membership to security guarantees is both unnecessary and dangerous."
