Surprise visit - Hungary's Prime Minister Orban pays a visit to Trump
One week after his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and right after the NATO summit in Washington, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban paid a visit to former US President Donald Trump in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. The Hungarian Prime Minister shared a photo of the meeting on X and wrote alongside it: "Peace Mission 5.0 (...) We discussed ways to peace. The good news of the day: He will solve it!"
The two right-wing populists have a very friendly relationship and had already met in March in Florida. At that time, Orban called his host the "President of Peace," while the American praised the Hungarians as the "best leader" ever.
Trump plans to move back into the White House as a Republican candidate after the US election in November, aiming to replace Joe Biden, who is running for the Democrats again. The campaign is in its heated phase.
Orban had caused headlines in the days leading up to the summit. As part of his "Peace Mission," the Prime Minister of a NATO country visited not only Russia but also China and Ukraine.
At the NATO summit in Washington, the Hungarian government had caused a stir right before Orban's departure for his meeting with Trump. The Hungarian government accused the NATO partners of hypocrisy and failure in dealing with Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto represented Orban, who left the summit early due to the meeting with Trump.
