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.

Orbán wants to host the next Trump-Putin summit, but that would mean Orbán breaking the court's arrest warrant for Putin. Still, the court can't do much.
