Orban, a longtime Trump supporter, also visited Kyiv, Moscow and Beijing in the past two weeks on a self-styled ‘peace mission’ to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has met with former US President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida where the pair discussed the “possibilities of peace”, the latest stop in Orban’s solo run to secure a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war.
Orban, a longtime Trump supporter, has visited Kyiv, Moscow and Beijing in the past two weeks on a self-styled “peace mission”, which has angered Hungary’s NATO allies.
“It was an honour to visit President [Donald Trump] at Mar-a-Lago today. We discussed ways to make peace. The good news of the day: he’s going to solve it!,” Orban said on X.
Orban’s so-called peace initiative has irked many members of the European Union, whose rotating presidency Hungary took over at the start of this month.
Considered the closest European leader to Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Orban was in the United States this week to attend a NATO summit hosted by President Joe Biden.
