Viktor Orbán met former US president Donald Trump on Thursday, days after the Hungarian prime minister made a controversial visit to Moscow to see Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Orbán, the EU’s most pro-Russia leader and vocal supporter of Trump, travelled to Florida to meet the Republican candidate for November’s presidential election straight from a Nato leaders’ summit in Washington.
“We continued the peace mission in Mar-a-Lago,” Orbán’s spokesperson Zoltán Kovács posted on X, along with video footage showing the Hungarian leader greeting Trump at his Floridian resort. Trump, Kovács said, “has proved during his presidency that he is a man of peace. He will do it again!”
