Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has confirmed he is prepared to host a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest. The proposed summit, which could take place during Trump’s upcoming visit to Hungary, marks a potential breakthrough in relations between the two leaders. Orban emphasized his commitment to facilitating open dialogue between Trump and Putin, framing the meeting as an opportunity to address critical issues such as NATO cooperation, cybersecurity, and international trade.
The decision has been met with mixed reactions from international observers. While some analysts view the meeting as a positive step toward de-escalating tensions between the U.S. and Russia, others caution that the outcomes of such a high-stakes political encounter remain unpredictable. The timing of the summit also raises questions about its impact on the broader U.S. presidential election landscape and the potential influence of Hungarian foreign policy on international relations.
