Trump wants to make Orban the head of the United Nations According to the Wall Street Journal, Washington expects to nominate Orban as a joint candidate of the US, Russia and China. American sources suggest that he could get between 8 and 10 votes in the UN Security Council. However, the appointment requires at least 9 votes and the absence of a veto from the permanent members of the Security Council, including Great Britain and France. Orban himself, known for anti-LGBT laws and clashes with the European Union over democratic freedoms, according to WSJ sources, is interested in the proposal, but is willing to enter the fray only if he is certain of victory. The mandate of current Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will expire on December 31. It remains to propose that Putin head the UN Human Rights Council.
