Orban’s high-profile plan: how Hungary can influence US-Russia talks

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is seeking to organize a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

According to sources cited by The Guardian, Orban sees the meeting as a strategic step to strengthen his role on the international stage and prepare the ground for a potential resolution of key issues, including Europe’s energy security. Orban’s main focus during his visit to the White House will be not only on the topic of Russian gas, but also on political planning for the upcoming elections in Hungary.

As the publication reports, citing government sources, Orban’s priority is also to invite Trump to Budapest before the elections, which, according to the prime minister’s advisers, could significantly strengthen his position in the conservative camp.

Orban’s chief of staff, Gergely Guias, said the meeting on Friday, November 7, would be “an opportunity for the two heads of state to define a roadmap that could lead to a future meeting between the United States and Russia.”

Diplomatic circles emphasize that the meeting between Orban and Trump could have important geopolitical consequences, as direct contact between the US and Russian leaders will further intensify discussions around Europe’s energy policy and the issue of sanctions against Moscow.

Let us remind you that the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban will take place on November 8.

By the way, Hungary seeks to join forces with the Czech Republic and Slovakia to form an alliance within the European Union, which will have a skeptical position regarding support for Ukraine.
