Hungary's Orbán to meet with Trump, not Biden, on visit to US courting foreign policy
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is expected to visit former President Donald Trump at his Florida home of Mar-a-Lago on Friday but is not scheduled to meet with President Biden or visit the White House during his trip courting potential foreign policy in the U.S.
The visit was first reported last week by The New York Times.
Orbán’s trip to the U.S. comes without an invitation from the White House, according to The Guardian. The Hungarian prime minister is expected to speak at a panel with the leader of the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation on Thursday before heading to Trump's West Palm Beach estate.
Orbán, who has been in office since 2010, has promoted what he calls "illiberal democracy" and has been criticized by international observers, including the U.S. State Department, for leading an increasingly autocratic system in Hungary, including allegations that he has rolled back minority rights, seized control of the judiciary and media and manipulated the country's election system to remain in power, according to The Associated Press. ..............

President Biden blasted the pair's meeting, claiming Trump is 'looking for dictatorship'

Former President Donald Trump met with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and received his endorsement, sparking outrage from President Biden.
Orbán traveled to Florida to visit Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Friday.
The duo discussed "a wide range of issues affecting Hungary and the United States, including the paramount importance of strong and secure borders to protect the sovereignty of each nation," according to the Trump campaign.
"There’s nobody that’s better, smarter or a better leader than Viktor Orban. He’s fantastic," Trump said. "He’s a noncontroversial figure because he said ‘This is the way it’s gonna be,’ and that’s the end of it. He’s the boss."
The Hungarian leader endorsed Trump following the meeting, claiming the former president is one of the few world leaders who can bring peace.
"It was a pleasure to visit President [Donald Trump] today. We need leaders in the world who are respected and can bring peace," Orbán said on social media. "He is one of them! Come back and bring us peace, Mr. President!"

I'm afraid Biden is right about Orban.
Here is a good example of why Orban is not a good person:
Chinese police set to patrol alongside Hungarian officers (https://www.yahoo.com/news/chinese-police-set-patrol-alongside-165902968.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmluZy5jb20v&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAJPcH7dUPLcwdsNPnh5C2dRYOPjslbb-xX9F4yyOSPv7CI6FSlE0c7duy956H6Xx7n6RSzNhxXfQqedPuatCdZeq4IuP07BbrEfZ_kkSuHW_mYt9FeE3O3EMfdpR5LnouOgTqfDUyTolncxeSGpiVU8EW38Bzrq-veEwoeC1INJh)
I don't know why Trump loves dictators..
