Hungary’s Viktor Orbán Meets with Trump and Musk at Mar-a-Lago

The Hungarian Prime Minister, a staunch Trump ally, discusses Ukraine and future cooperation with the president-elect and Elon Musk in Florida.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán met with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and incoming National Security Adviser Rep. Michael Waltz at Mar-a-Lago on Monday.
Orbán, a long-time Trump supporter, has praised the president-elect as a leader capable of ending the Ukraine war and has opposed military aid to Kyiv.
The meeting follows Trump’s recent discussions in Paris with French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, where Trump called for a ceasefire in Ukraine.
Elon Musk, who has been closely involved in Trump’s transition team, is set to lead an advisory commission focused on cutting government spending and regulations.
Orbán’s alignment with Trump highlights his efforts to strengthen ties with the incoming U.S. administration as he faces challenges within the European Union over his governance and Russia-friendly policies.
