Viktor Orban met Donald Trump in Florida in the latest leg of his controversial “peace mission” for Ukraine, saying the former president is “going to solve it!” in reference to the war.
“We discussed ways to make peace. The good news of the day: he’s going to solve it!,” Mr Orban said, as he hailed his “peace mission 5.0”.
“Thank you Viktor,” Trump replied on social media.
“There must be PEACE, and quickly. Too many people have died in a war that should have never started!” he added.
Mr Orban, who has forged close ties with US conservatives, has previously said that Mr Trump would end the war in Ukraine soon after winning the White House.
Jake Sullivan, Mr Biden’s national security adviser, said on Thursday: “The US position, the Biden administration position is: Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine. So whatever adventurism is being undertaken without Ukrainians’ consent or support is not something that’s consistent with our policy or the policy of the United States.”
