Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met with Donald Trump on Thursday (July 11) and the pair discussed the "possibilities of peace", a spokesperson for the prime minister said as he pushes for a ceasefire in Ukraine, Reuters reports.
Posting on social media platform X after the meeting, Orban said Trump was “going to solve it” without specifying further and shared a photo of the pair giving a thumbs up.
Trump, posting on Truth Social, said peace was needed quickly. Reuters reported last month that advisers to the former president had presented him with a plan to end the war in part by making future aid to Kyiv conditional on Ukraine joining peace talks.
Nationalist leader Orban, a long-time Trump supporter, made surprise visits to Kyiv, Moscow and Beijing in the past two weeks on a self-styled "peace mission", angering NATO allies.
