The US wants to appoint Orban to the position of UN Secretary General The Trump administration sees Orban as an ideal candidate for the position of UN Secretary General and is inviting him to join the race, the Wall Street Journal writes citing sources. However, according to the newspaper, the final decision on the appointment has not yet been made. It is assumed that the former prime minister of Hungary may become a joint candidate of the United States, Russia and China. As WSJ interlocutors noted, if these three powers "want the same thing in the UN Security Council, they tend to get their way." A State Department spokesman said the former Hungarian prime minister could secure the support of 10 of the 15 members of the Security Council.
