Orban Visits Trump at Mar-a-Lago on his Peace Mission 5.0

ER Editor: Some standard reporting from Al Jazeera below, and a short piece by Russian site topwar.ru. As we’ve published before, Trump couldn’t legally have this meeting under the Logan Act with the leader of another country if he weren’t Commander in Chief. Orban and Trump met back in March of this year.

A reminder that Hungary under Orban has the rotating EU presidency for 6 months starting July 1 2024. He’s visited Zelensky, Putin, Xi and now Trump, with a side meeting in Washington with Erdogan. He’s also recruited enough countries for a new EU parliamentary grouping called Patriots for Europe. The EU Parliament has been full of Soros appointees and fake globalists, so this could augur a shift within the EU Parliament. Orban’s making hay, so to speak.

And now he’s making way for Trump.

Hungarian Prime Minister after a meeting at Mar-a-Lago: Trump will resolve the issue of the armed conflict in Ukraine

After meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, Orban wrote on his page on one of the Western social networks that he was glad to meet with President Trump and hoped that he would resolve the issue of ending the armed conflict in Ukraine.

Formally, Orban arrived in the United States for the NATO summit in Washington. However, in addition to participating in other events, he visited Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, where, among other things, he discussed issues related to Ukraine with the ex-president.

Hungarian Prime Minister after a meeting at Mar-a-Lago: Trump will resolve the issue of the armed conflict in Ukraine

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met with former US President Donald Trump and discussed with him possible ways to resolve the Ukrainian crisis.

Previously, Orban visited Kyiv, Moscow and Beijing, after which he was criticized in the European Union, where, in particular, they called for a boycott of ministerial meetings organized by Hungary.

According to the American publication Politico, ambassadors of several EU countries have threatened Hungary with “negative consequences” if Orban does not stop following his current course. According to the American newspaper, tough resistance from Brussels cannot be ruled out when Orban crosses the next “red lines” established by the West.

In particular, the leadership of the European Union fears that Orban could become a kind of mediator between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the likely new US President Trump.

In addition, Orban was also criticized by the Ukrainian leadership, who accused the head of the Hungarian government of going to Moscow without coordinating this trip with Kiev.

Hungary’s Viktor Orban meets Trump at Mar-a-Lago for ‘peace mission 5.0’

Orban, a longtime Trump supporter, also visited Kyiv, Moscow and Beijing in the past two weeks on a self-styled ‘peace mission’ to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

AL JAZEERA

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has met with former US President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida where the pair discussed the “possibilities of peace”, the latest stop in Orban’s solo run to secure a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Orban, a longtime Trump supporter, has visited Kyiv, Moscow and Beijing in the past two weeks on a self-styled “peace mission”, which has angered Hungary’s NATO allies.

“It was an honour to visit President [Donald Trump] at Mar-a-Lago today. We discussed ways to make peace. The good news of the day: he’s going to solve it!,” Orban said on X.

Orban’s so-called peace initiative has irked many members of the European Union, whose rotating presidency Hungary took over at the start of this month.

Considered the closest European leader to Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Orban was in the United States this week to attend a NATO summit hosted by President Joe Biden.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told the Reuters news agency on Wednesday that Hungary believes a second Trump presidency would boost hopes for peace in Ukraine, and that Orban hoped to bring an end to the war through peace talks involving both Russia and Ukraine.

Trump has said he would quickly end the war, and advisers to the former president are reported to have presented him with a plan to end the conflict by, in part, making future US aid to Kyiv conditional on Ukraine joining peace talks.

Orban’s meeting in Moscow last week with the Russian president in particular has vexed some NATO members, who said the trip handed legitimacy to Putin when the West wants to isolate him over his invasion of Ukraine.

Orban had travelled to Kyiv before visiting Moscow.

Orban ‘adventurism’; NATO’s frustration

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who said he was not informed by Orban of his onward trip to Russia, has dismissed the prime minister’s ambition of playing the peacemaker.

“Not all the leaders can make negotiations. You need to have some power for this,” Zelenskyy told a news conference at the NATO summit.

White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, when asked about Orban’s peace efforts, said Ukraine would be rightly concerned about any attempt to negotiate a peace deal without involving Kyiv.

“Whatever adventurism is being undertaken without Ukraine’s consent or support is not something that’s consistent with our policy, the foreign policy of the United States,” Sullivan said.

Two European diplomats told Reuters that NATO allies were frustrated with Orban’s actions around the summit in Washington, but stressed that he had not blocked the alliance from taking action on Ukraine. Multiple EU leaders also made clear Orban was not speaking for the bloc in his discussions on the war in Ukraine.

“I don’t think there’s any point in having conversations with authoritarian regimes that are violating international law,” Finnish President Alexander Stubb said of Orban.

Meeting in Beijing on Tuesday with Chinese President Xi Jinping for “peace mission 3.0”, Orban said China was key to “creating the conditions for peace” between Ukraine and Russia.

Hungary has also diverged from its NATO allies on policy towards China, which the Western military alliance said is an enabler of Russia’s war effort in Ukraine and poses challenges to security.

Hungary does not want NATO to become an “anti-China” bloc, and will not support it doing so, the country’s foreign minister Szijjarto said on Thursday.
