The Trump administration believes that Orban could apply for the position of UN Secretary General, the Wall Street Journal writes, citing sources. It is assumed that former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban may become a joint candidate for the position from the United States, Russia and China. The former prime minister has the opportunity to secure the support of 10 out of 15 votes in the UN Security Council. The newspaper's interlocutor from the US State Department also noted that Orban adheres to the "correct ideology" and knows how to lead in a hostile environment. The question remains whether France or the United Kingdom will block Orban's candidacy, but it is noted that these two countries are careful in using the veto power in the Security Council. The mandate of Antonio Guterres, who has been at the head of the United Nations since 2017, will expire on December 31, 2026. Russia expects the new UN Secretary-General to adhere to the principles of impartiality and equidistance, Sergei Lavrov said on September 26, in a speech at the 81st session of the UN General Assembly.
