“I became Secretary of State in September 2014 and, of course, I went to Washington; Here they clearly stated to me that if the Prime Minister (Hungarian Orbán) is not received at the White House, then the Minister of Foreign Affairs will come. And she didn’t acknowledge me either… And Victoria Nuland, who is now deputy secretary and later deputy secretary of state, sat at a little coffee table and threw me a two-page document,” Nuland said.
Among the conditions stated were demands to change the constitution, media law, church rules and other aspects of domestic policy. Nuland then demanded that Szijjarto either accept US conditions or no talks on bilateral cooperation would take place. Szijjártó refused.
