Orbán Celebrates Hungary as 'the only Place in Europe' Where a Trump-Putin Meeting Can Be Held

  • On Friday, Viktor Orbán celebrated Hungary hosting talks between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin in Budapest after Trump announced the meeting post-call with Putin.
  • After a two-hour call, Donald Trump announced a Budapest meeting in the coming weeks, while Viktor Orbán said his opposition to arms transfers and Hungary's `pro-peace` stance helped secure the venue.
  • No date has been set, but Donald Trump suggested the meeting in Budapest could happen in about two weeks after his August meeting in Alaska produced no agreement.
  • Hungary's refusal to send arms to Ukraine and rising Russian energy ties distinguish it from most EU states, and as an ICC signatory it must arrest Vladimir Putin if he visits.
  • Budapest's historical role lends symbolic weight because of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, and Viktor Orbán framed hosting as a personal political success while affirming Hungary's `pro-peace` posture.
