Hungary’s Viktor Orban has met with former US President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida where they discussed the “possibilities of peace”, the latest stop in the prime minister’s solo run to secure a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war.
Orban, a longtime Trump supporter, has visited Ukraine, Russia and China 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.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told the Reuters news agency on Wednesday that Hungary believes a second Trump presidency would boost hopes for peace in Ukraine, and that Orban hoped to bring an end to the war through peace talks involving both Russia and Ukraine.
Trump has said he would quickly end the war, and advisers to the former president are reported to have presented him with a plan to end the conflict by, in part, making future US aid to Kyiv conditional on Ukraine joining peace talks.
