BUDAPEST (Reuters) – Hungary expects to sign a business deal with the U.S. in six months that could help offset the likely adverse impacts of tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told website www.ot.hu late on Thursday.

“We are in talks with the Americans about economic issues which would be advantageous for us. The tariffs will be negative for us but we negotiate about other economic deals to offset those (tariffs),” Orban said in an interview.
