Hungary’s Viktor Orban meets Trump, Musk at Mar-a-Lago

(Reuters) – Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met with Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk at the U.S. president-elect’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida on Monday, the European leader announced on social media platform X.

“USA today. The future has begun! An afternoon in Mar-a-Lago with @realDonaldTrump, @elonmusk and @michaelgwaltz,” Orban said, without sharing more details.

The two leaders also met in July and discussed the “possibilities of peace”, a spokesperson for the prime minister had said, as Orban pushed for a ceasefire in Ukraine.

Orban, a nationalist leader and long-time Trump supporter, has grown increasingly isolated within the European Union for his ties to Russia and opposition to military aid for Ukraine.

He has praised Trump as a “man of peace” who would quickly end the Ukraine war and expects his close personal ties with the president-elect will elevate his standing in a politically fractious Europe and bolster support for his far-right allies, at a time when he faces serious headwinds at home.

The Trump transition team did not respond to a request for comment.
