Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has stirred controversy with his recent foreign policy maneuvers, drawing criticism from EU and NATO allies. Orbán, who has pledged to 'Make Europe Great Again,' surprised many by embarking on unannounced visits to Ukraine, Russia, and China.
Orbán's warm relations with Russian President Putin and his advocacy for closer ties with China have raised concerns among Western partners, especially in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. His recent meetings with Putin, Xi Jinping, and former President Trump have been met with backlash, with some countries considering boycotting upcoming meetings in Budapest during Hungary's EU presidency.
