PM Orbán to travel to Washington very soon
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is set to travel to Washington once again in two weeks’ time, where he will attend the inaugural meeting of a newly established international body known as Donald Trump’s Peace Council.
The announcement was made during a public event in Szombathely, where Orbán briefly referred to the upcoming trip while addressing questions from the audience.
Viktor Orbán announced his Washington visit
According to the prime minister, the invitation came directly from US President Donald Trump, who personally asked him to attend the founding session of the council. Orbán later confirmed the visit in a social media post, noting that while he will be in Washington at the same time as Trump, the occasion is not a bilateral meeting but a multilateral event centred on the new organisation.
As HVG reported, the Peace Council was announced by Trump in mid-January as an alternative global forum aimed primarily at addressing the conflict in the Gaza Strip and managing the subsequent political transition. The initiative has been described by its supporters as a fresh approach to international conflict resolution, though critics view it as an attempt to sidestep existing global institutions, particularly the United Nations.
Did you know that PM Orbán may turn to Rubio instead of Trump? One of America’s big players heading to Budapest?
Only two European countries joined Trump’s council
So far, Hungary and Bulgaria are the only European countries to have joined the initiative. Telex writes that Orbán was among the first leaders to signal his support, having already appeared among the founding signatories during an earlier meeting in Davos. While many European leaders have remained sceptical, the Hungarian prime minister has openly embraced the project.
Trump wants Orban in Washington as a prop. He can’t even be bothered with a bilateral meeting with him. You can’t have an empty council meeting or the organization looks like a joke which it is anyways. Orban is happy to be a prop for Trump because he is desperate for any kind of media exposure to puff himself up while Hungary descends into further hardship.
Well, yes, Dear Larry – our president is helpful to Hungary’s prime minister.
IN consideration of how much illegal force has been levied against Orban from Bruxelles, I see no wrong in our president lending Viktor a helping hand.
I am sure XI is helping too, but, as he does not like spectacle, he is doing it quietly.
This has troll farm written all over it: fake profile, rage-bait, and Kremlin talking points dressed up as heartland America. Don’t take the bait.
