The Trump administration has offered Orban a nomination for the post of UN secretary-general, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing sources. The mandate of current Secretary-General Guterres ends on December 31. Orban may become a joint candidate of the US, Russia and China. Sources say there are eight more yes votes guaranteed, and about 10 more potentially. "Will Britain and France be able to stop the majority then? These two countries, as a rule, are wary of using the veto power," the publication said. The WSJ believes that Orban, if elected, "will act as a shield for Vladimir Putin and other dictators." A US official said Orban is "an ideal candidate for conservatives who support the MAGA movement". That is, to the right-wing movements that are now gaining strength in Europe. Orban himself, according to sources, is only willing to run if he is sure of victory. The remaining candidates are mostly "secretaries" - with experience working in the international bureaucracy or behind the scenes of diplomacy.
