As the NATO summit in Washington wrapped up on Thursda, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a staunch nationalist, flew to Florida for talks with ex-US President Donald Trump. At the same time, current US President Joe Biden held a media briefing to project authority to his supporters, but his performance was undermined by several gaffes.
Orban's meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago is expected to further strain relations with Hungary's allies, coming on the heels of Orban's controversial encounter with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week, which drew widespread criticism from European leaders.
