Trump tariffs would hit Hungary hard despite warm relations with MAGA-friendly Orbán
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary's populist prime minister has spent years building a close political relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump and aligning himself with the MAGA movement. But despite Viktor Orbán's success in gaining favor with the culturally conservative and nationalist wing of Trump's administration, his country is poised to be among those hard hit by Trump's tariffs against the European Union. Trump earlier this month announced he would levy tariffs of 30% against Mexico and the EU beginning Aug. 1 — a move that could cause massive upheaval between the United States and the 27-member EU, of which Hungary is a member. As a small, export-oriented economy with major automobile, pharmaceutical and wine industries — some of the main categories of products Europe exports to the U.S. — Hungary will be particularly vulnerable to Trump's tariffs. The duties 'would put the Hungarian economy in a very, very difficult situation, because then the entire possibility for Hungary to export to America would be essentially eliminated,' Péter Virovácz, chief analyst at ING Hungary, told The Associated Press. 'Not the best way to make money' Hungary's largest trading partners are other EU countries like Germany, Italy and Romania, as well as China, but many Hungarian companies export their goods across the Atlantic. Outgoing trade to the United States represents around 15% of all Hungarian exports to countries outside the EU. One such enterprise, a Budapest-based company specializing in Hungarian wine, said it will likely cease doing business in the U.S. altogether if the 30% duty is levied on its products. 'If it's really going to be 30%, then there is no more shipment … We might just call it a day at the end of the year,' said Gábor Bánfalvi, co-owner of Taste Hungary. Bánfalvi's company has been shipping around 10,000 bottles of premium Hungarian wine per year to the U.S. for about half a decade. With a base in Washington D.C., it exports a range of red and white wines to clients in numerous U.S. states including specialty wine shops and bars. Until now, 'it's been a thin profit margin, but it's been fine because we want Hungarian wine to be available' to U.S. consumers, Bánfalvi said. 'Then came 2025,' he said. When Trump began imposing tariffs on EU exports earlier this year, the cost of Taste Hungary's shipments tripled, Bánfalvi said — price hikes he had to build into the sticker price of the wine. The imposition of 30% tariffs would make exporting 'unsustainable.' 'You just start to think, why are we doing this? Is it really worth it? It's just not the best way to make money,' he said. In total, the value of EU-U.S. trade in goods and services in 2024 amounted to 1.7 trillion euros ($2 trillion.) Doubts that political ties could soften the blow Hungary's government, a vocal proponent of Trump's 'patriotic' foreign policy prioritizing national interests, has acknowledged that the tariffs would present a challenge. But, careful not to criticize the Trump administration, it has instead blamed the EU, a frequent target of Orbán's scorn, for failing to reach a comprehensive trade agreement with Washington. Confident that his right-wing populist policies would help win him favor with Trump's administration, Orbán said in an interview in April that while tariffs 'will be a disadvantage,' his government was negotiating 'other economic agreements and issues that will offset them.' But Péter Krekó, director of the Budapest-based Political Capital think tank, expressed doubt that political affinities could play a meaningful role in mitigating damage to Hungary's economy caused by Trump's trade policy. 'The unquestionably good bilateral relations simply cannot compensate for the trade conflicts between the EU and the U.S., and as a consequence, Hungary will suffer the tariffs the same way that the EU will,' Krekó said. 'Mutual nationalisms cannot be coordinated in a way that it is going to be a win-win situation.' Car manufacturing and pharmaceuticals Virovácz, the economist, pointed out that Hungary is home to numerous automobile factories for major automakers like Audi and Mercedes. The manufacturing of cars and motor vehicle parts represents an 'overwhelming majority' of the country's total exports, he said. Pharmaceuticals make up an even larger share of Hungarian exports to the United States — an industry on which Trump this month threatened to impose 200% tariffs. That 'will essentially kill European and thus Hungarian exports to America,' Virovácz said. 'It's impossible for tariffs to be levied on EU products but not on Hungarian ones,' he said. 'A theoretical option is that Trump could somehow compensate Hungary because he's on good terms with the Hungarian political leadership, but if that only starts happening now, it's way too late.' Krekó, the political analyst, said Trump's administration 'gives practically nothing for free. If Hungary … cannot fulfill the interests of the U.S., then I think Hungary is not going to receive gifts.' 'Hungary just doesn't have the cards, to use Trump's terminology,' he added.

Remembering Stephen Brown, the ‘Wizard of Oz' who took John Hancock public
A math major who joined Hancock straight out of college, Brown had no investment experience. The two divisions were worlds apart. Colleagues urged him to stay put. But his wife, Arleen, saw the opportunity. With actuarial and investing experience — a rare combination at the Boston company — he could be CEO one day, she told him. Advertisement Brown took her advice, betting that 'this would give me a real chance to run the company,' as he recalled Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The gamble paid off. Five years later, he was leading investments. He became president in 1987 and CEO in 1992. Mr. Brown, who retired in 2001 after 43 years at the company, 'He was an educated risk taker, a maverick who chose the right path over the easy, popular, or safe one,' William Brown said. With a mild manner that masked a steely determination, Mr. Brown helped transform Hancock from a staid, policyholder-owned life insurer into a Fortune 200 financial services firm. (I had the opportunity to see his management style in action when I worked in Hancock's investor relations group from 1999 to 2003.) Advertisement Brown rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Jan. 20, 2000, John Hancock's first day of trading. Home run legend Hank Aaron (to the right of Brown), was at the NYSE to autograph baseballs. RICHARD DREW The process culminated in Hancock's conversion to a publicly traded company in 2000. Three years later, it agreed to be acquired by Manulife Financial, a Canadian rival. 'Despite all his successes during his nearly half a century at John Hancock — and there were many — his legacy is in the kindness he displayed every day and the culture he built,' Brooks Tingle, Hancock's CEO, said in a statement. When Mr. Brown was promoted to president, the company's No. 2 executive, he and then-CEO Jim Morton began exploring the idea of taking Hancock public. At the time, Massachusetts law didn't allow mutual insurers to sell stock. But with Mr. Brown leading the charge, the company began adopting public company standards for financial reporting and other practices, giving it a head start when the state passed a Morton and Mr. Brown believed going public was essential to compete in a rapidly consolidating financial sector. Access to capital would let Hancock expand its product line, offer stock options to attract talent, and pursue acquisitions. But Wall Street quickly saw the likely endgame: a takeover. That propped up the stock price even as the broader market fell during the dot-com meltdown. When Toronto-based Manulife 'A lot of us got the credit; he was the Wizard of Oz,' said David D'Alessandro, Advertisement Mr. Brown's impact on Hancock was significant. Like most insurers, the company relied on conservative investments like government bonds and real estate to pay dividends and claims. Mr. Brown expanded the portfolio into private equity, venture capital, timber, farmland, and public stocks. Profits increased. He was a mentor to younger executives and helped bring more women into Hancock's management ranks — an initiative that included creating one of the first on-site daycare centers at a major Boston company. Brown in 1996 with William Boylan (left), who was retiring as president, and David D'Alessandro, Boylan's successor. Bill Brett/Globe Staff 'Most people hire people who they are comfortable with — similar humor and often similar backgrounds,' D'Alessandro said. 'Steve preferred the 'Star Wars bar' approach. . . . Hire accomplished and smart people who are so different they look and sound like they are from different planets. Then, let them challenge each other, carefully listen to the widely diverse group, and build a team that considers many views before acting.' Mr. Brown understood the importance of a diverse workforce. There weren't many other Jews working at Hancock when he was hired in 1958. He was the first Jew to run the company, which was founded in 1862. 'This company was a Yankee company,' he said in the podcast interview with Boston University economist Laurence Kotlikoff. 'All my friends said to me, why do you want to join the John Hancock? You'll never get anywhere.' Mr. Brown's tenure included some costly missteps, including his ill-fated move into He sold Freedom Securities — parent of brokerage firm Tucker Anthony — just as banks and insurers were paying top dollar for money managers. Advertisement And in 1997, Hancock agreed to pay at least $350 million to 3.7 million customers who alleged that Hancock agents had deceptively sold them policies. Beyond his career at Hancock, Mr. Brown served as a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, chairman of the board of Ionics Inc., and a life trustee of the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. He was also a member of the Vault, a bygone group of powerful executives who advocated for business with Boston and state officials. As the Vault's chairman, he presided over its decision to disband in 1997. 'He was often a voice of wisdom and caution,' said former Boston Fed president Cathy Minehan. Stephen L. Brown was born on July 6, 1937, in Providence, to Eugene and Florence Brown. The family owned a high-end women's gown shop in Brockton. After his parents divorced when he was 13, he and his mother moved to Newton. He attended Newton High School and went to Middlebury College on a full academic scholarship. He interned at Hancock after his junior year. The company hired him the following year. Mr. Brown and Arleen were married for nearly 50 years. They had two children, William and Beverly, and three grandchildren. After her death in 2010, Mr. Brown married Jamie Kotlikoff Stern (Kotlikoff's cousin), with whom he lived for 14 years, splitting their time between Palm Beach, Fla., and Osterville. She has two children, Melissa Stern and Antony Stern, from a previous marriage. After his retirement, Mr. Brown dedicated his time to philanthropy, sitting on the boards of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and Palm Beach Dramaworks, and serving as president of the Palm Beach Civic Association. He was an avid golfer, competitive bridge player, and watch collector, Advertisement A private family burial service will be held Thursday. A celebration of Mr. Brown's life will take place at a later date. John Hancock honored by naming its building at 197 Clarendon St. after he retired in 2001.
