Speaking to Magyar Nemzet, expert Rajmund Fekete explained that “the Hungarian Prime Minister is on everyone’s radar. Not only those who sympathize with him but also his political opponents. […]
Thanks to the policies of the Hungarian prime minister, Hungary has become a much bigger political power than the size of the country would justify. This is well demonstrated by this meeting.”
The Washington Times also highlighted the significance of the meeting between the two politicians in an article yesterday. It said that the meeting between the two strong leaders could have symbolic significance, as an alliance between the two leaders could halt the advance of the woke ideology on the world stage.
It is important to note that Viktor Orbán and Donald Trump are meeting after the so-called “Super Tuesday”, so since Trump has no challenger left within the Republicans, the meeting is, in fact, a run-up to the presidential election.
