Hungary’s Viktor Orbán to meet with Trump after meeting Putin

Welcome to the Boston Post News network, where we bring you the latest updates on global affairs. Today, we delve into the meeting between Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and former US President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

Prime Minister Orbán’s visit comes on the heels of his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, where he reiterated Hungary’s stance of non-involvement in NATO’s defense efforts, particularly in aiding Ukraine against Russian aggression.

Reports from an unnamed source close to Trump indicate that the meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Mar-a-Lago. The Hungarian delegation, which had been in Washington for a NATO summit, also had discussions with the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.

It is worth noting that Orbán, a vocal supporter of Trump’s potential 2024 presidential bid, did not seek the approval of the current Biden administration before embarking on this trip.

Relations between the US and Hungary have been strained, with US Ambassador to Hungary David Pressman criticizing Orbán’s interference in American politics. Speaking at an Independence Day reception in Budapest, Pressman emphasized that the partnership between the two countries is rooted in shared values of democracy, rule of law, and security.

Pressman highlighted Orbán’s direct involvement in US electoral processes, pointing out that no other ally engages in such overt political campaigning on American soil. He urged the Hungarian government to prioritize the spirit of mutual respect and cooperation rather than pursuing personal political agendas.

As the meeting between Orbán and Trump unfolds, observers are keen to see the implications for US-Hungary relations and Orbán’s alignment with other global leaders. Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
