Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban will visit former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago following the NATO summit, reports The New York Times.
The visit follows stops by Orban in China, Russia, and Ukraine to discuss a potential Ukraine peace deal.
Orban, a very public Trump backer, visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago this spring, shortly after he endorsed the former president's White House bid. The Hungarian prime minister has also spoken at the Heritage Foundation and CPAC and visited Trump at his other club in Bedminster, N.J.
Earlier this week Orban praised Trump and blasted the United States for having a "war policy" in Ukraine.
He also predicted there was a "very, very high chance" President Joe Biden would not be reelected, describing that outcome as "a change that would be good for the world."
"I believe [a Trump victory] will be good for the world politics," Orban told Axel Springer media outlets.
"He is the man of peace. Under his four-year term he did not initiate a single war, and he did a lot in order to create peace in old conflicts in very complicated areas of the world."
Orban also defended his meetings in China and Russia.
"The job for me now is not to say … who is good, who is bad. The situation is obvious," he said, explicitly stating that Russia invaded Ukraine. "But I would not like to be indulged [in] a kind of measurement, who is responsible for what, and so on. My duty is to concentrate on how we can create peace."
