“For us Hungarians, there is only one thing to do, and that is to honestly admit: the world would be better, and it would be better for Hungary, if President Donald Trump returned to power,” he said. 

Orbán also reiterated his previous statement that during Trump’s presidency, there was peace in the Middle East and Ukraine. 

He claimed that Trump “offered respect in the world, thereby creating conditions for peace”.

Orbán also said he hoped that Trump’s return to the White House would invigorate bilateral trade relations. 

Following their meeting at Trump’s estate in Florida, Orbán and Trump planned to attend a concert, reported Havasi Bertalan, the Hungarian prime minister’s spokesperson. 

Hungary’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Péter Szijjártó, was also present at the meeting.

Background:
