Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban traveled to the US state of Florida on Thursday, where he met with former President Donald Trump following a NATO summit in Washington.

The meeting is part of Orban's self-proclaimed "peace mission" to end Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It is likely to add to frustration among Western allies over similar secret trips he has made to Russia and China in the past few days.

    Why when it’s a right wing peace initiative is it mocked??
  • @ukulelelab4219
    it's not an official trip, it's a 'special hungarian operation'
  • @rs1357
    Orban tears down their last sense of superiority pride and ask them to face the reality, of course reality hurts, thats why he's so triggering for these clown lobby🤣
  • @nesatrumbe
    Why are they crying,Orban is doing what every smart and resonable politisian should do,negotiate and talk to all sides.
  • @Zockopa
    Naturally to seek a diplomatic solution angers anyone who is sworn in on war profiteering: The grift must go on,no matter the cost for the populations !
  • @tedrosmanna5465
    Where is the problem as far as he pleads for peace? What a confused world
  • @senyoadu2198
    My understanding of geopolitics isn’t in doubt….However, I honestly don’t care where peace comes from. WE SIMPLY NEED PEACE. TOO MANY YOUNG MEN HAVE DIED. Enough is enough. There’s nothing to be gained in a war of attrition. This war will end in some form of settled negotiation. The earlier we start talking with both parties, the better. Ignoring Russia during peace talks doesn’t do the world any good. We need both parties at the table
  • @elishachanda
    The world is too sick what is wrong in seeking for peace
  • @80-80.
    He officially hasn’t even asked to meet Biden, the president of the US, but Trump, that tells everything.
  • @gamearena9519
    Why people here in comments are against " people being in peace " and want " people being killed"?
  • @trqster
    The only western leader with some good sense on him!
  • @tejasshah9783
    You guys talk absolutely rubbish-no wonder Europe is on series decline
  • @maddyruhil8774
    As a sovereign of a nation he can meet as and when he wants. He is doing nothing wrong.
  • @bakeccho1924
    He is one of few politicians in Europe who have ability to do real diplomacy.

  • @hullandras
    He has done more in the last few days than his predecessors in a year
  • This would have been much more interesting if you had included unedited, uncut clips of Orban himself explaining why he had meetings with these leaders. The only thing you have shown is that Orban has gone outside the current groupthink and that you are upset about it.
