Trump receives hardline Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán at Mar-a-Lago. Details of Trump's meeting with the authoritarian leader were not immediately known.

It is very unusual for a head of government to travel to the U.S. and speak with a political opponent of the president without also meeting with senior White House officials. Given a possible Trump victory in November, Orbán wants to “strengthen a relationship that is already quite good” Last month, Trump posted a video on the Truth Social platform in which Orbán praised him during his State of the Union address.
