AFP: Hungary’s nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban jetted off to Florida on Thursday to meet with former US president Donald Trump after the end of the NATO summit in Washington.
The sit-down at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate is likely to further upset Budapest’s allies after Orban drew widespread ire from European counterparts for meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin last week.
Right-wing Orban, whose country took over the rotating presidency of the European Union this month, has been a vocal supporter of Trump, and last met the 2024 Republican presidential hopeful in March. “We discussed ways to make peace,” Orban said.
