Orbán to Meet Trump in US This Week

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán will meet former U.S. President Donald Trump this coming Friday in Florida, shortly after he openly endorsed his long-time ally's bid to return to the U.S. presidency this year, according to international news wire Reuters.

Hungarian PM Orbán, who has regularly been at loggerheads with the EU over his anti-immigration campaigns and moves to put the judiciary, NGOs, and media under more state control, has been described by Trump as a "great leader."

Orbán last met Donald Trump at the former president's golf club in New Jersey in the summer of 2022.

Another key moment of Orbán's American trip will come on March 7, when he is scheduled to participate in a panel discussion with Kevin Roberts, the president of The Heritage Foundation, one of the most prominent conservative research institutes in the United States.

Orbán's conservative family policies have also earned praise among populist figures in the United States, and Hungary has hosted meetings of the Conservative Political Action Conference in the past years, Reuters noted.

Next month, Hungary will host CPAC for the third time.
