Trump plans to put former Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán at the head of the United Nations The administration of US President Donald Trump has invited former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to join the race for the position of UN Secretary-General, sources in three countries told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ). The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that following preliminary negotiations, Russia and China supported the idea of the American administration. As a result, Orban "without any particular difficulties" can get eight votes in the UN Security Council, emphasized the interlocutor of the publication. At the same time, he considers ten votes out of 15 "achievable". A US official called Orban a "dream candidate" for American conservatives because he opposed mass immigration, liberal NGOs and the left-wing courts and press. According to the WSJ, American officials contacted Orban to find out if he was interested in the position of UN Secretary General. The politician said that he is willing to consider this proposal, but does not intend to propose himself unless he is sure of victory. He declined to comment to the WSJ. More details.
