Russian President Vladimir Putin likened U.S. leader Donald Trump to a "tank" in a conversation with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in October 2025.
Medianews.az reports that the parties had previously discussed the possibility of holding a summit with Trump in Budapest, but the meeting did not take place. Orban expressed admiration by likening Trump's businesslike approach to a "tornado."
Putin called Trump's way of advancing "like a tank" and highly evaluated his ability to simultaneously handle several crises, including the situation in the Middle East.
