WSJ The United States has called on former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to "enter the race" for the post of UN Secretary General, the Wall Street Journal writes, citing sources in three countries. According to the newspaper, in addition to the US, Russia and China support this idea, and "the plan is that Mr. Orban will become their joint candidate."
