Will Trump 'pull' Italy, Austria, Poland, Hungary from EU?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : Orban supported Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign -- the only ruling EU leader to do so at the time.
57% : Hegedüs predicts that in the coming years there will be more such cases, with member states failing to comply with joint decisions, thereby increasingly calling into question the very essence of European integration. /dl
53% : Indeed, she is very pragmatic, Hegedüs told DW, adding that few had understood as well as she had what a stable EU could do for their country.
47% : Why not the Czech Republic and Slovakia? What is surprising, at least to some, is that two EU states do not appear on the list: the Czech Republic and Slovakia. READ: Russia, Ukraine trade attacks as US, Europe prepare for peace talks In the first, the parliamentary elections were won by the billionaire Andrej Babis and his populist ANO party in October.
46% : READ: How Donald Trump brings MAGA ideals into global politics Experts such as Hegedüs doubt that the US goal is to promote the departure of one of these four nations from the bloc, but rather to push a gradual disintegration of European integration through diplomatic, political and perhaps even financial support.
45% : He said that he did not accept the EU's decision and would take the case to the European Court of Justice.
43% : Is the US trying to divide the European Union?
43% : Hungary's economy is in a weak state, and significant EU funds due to the country have been frozen over persistent concerns about democratic backsliding.
43% : For example, although the EU has agreed to gradually phase out its dependence on Russian energy and the bloc will ban imports of liquefied natural gas by the end of 2026 and pipeline gas by the fall of 2027, Hungary has announced it will refuse to comply.
41% : But Daniel Hegedüs, regional director for Central Europe at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, believes the US government is under a "misapprehension" that Meloni would oppose the EU.
37% : READ: EU won't have Donald Trump meddling in European affairs But the question remains:
28% : His nominally social democratic, but in fact nationalist and increasingly right-wing Smer-SD party was recently expelled from the EU-level Party of European Socialists.
24% : Both Babis and Fico are outspoken EU skeptics, and both have the potential to cause chaos in EU decision-making and to undermine the bloc's authority on strategic issues, especially with regard to Russia and Ukraine -- qualities that the current Trump administration is likely to appreciate.
23% : Orban is widely seen as a maverick and a destabilizing force for the EU -- an institution that Trump appears to deeply distrust.
